We todd did Miata

[mekken]

Everybody is getting steals on hardtops these days... My brother still hasn't found one below a grand locally haha.

Fenders came out great btw!

I grabbed all the hardware for the hardtop as well so for $400 I was super happy!!


I asked the guy who does towing for my gf's dad to keep a look out for a drivers side door since mine was smashed. A few weeks later he called me and said he had an insurance "totaled" garage kept 99 Miata with 39xxx miles that was flooded. So for $750 I gladly paid for what other wise would have gotten crushed. Bonus was a brand new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's on some super dope heavy ass chrome wheels...Pics of said donor car. I was beyond excited!!!

Christmas came and my GF bought me a Nikon d3200, some booze, and some nice sunglasses along with a few other things so pics will get a little better from here on (i'm not a photographer)....










Flash forward into a new house after hurricane sandy............. Winter weather came and one of my wheels may have hit a curb while "playing" professional drifter in a snow covered parking lot.... Soooo... off came the wheels and suspension and it sat around for most of the winter.. Lucky cheap wheels are cheap to replace.

Got bored and decided I wanted to swap interiors so I got started with the tear down/clean up of the parts car interior.


Mid way through.

It took a while to clean all the parts that were flooded but slowly everything came together....

Awesome with the new wheels, also liked that red hardtop

[mad-ass]

and I'm fairly sure you can sell that black NB for same or more money that you bought it for with it stripped out to a SCCA racer.

Thanks. New wheels have been ordered and are being built as we speak. The XXR's are going to be backup winter wheels once I get the new greatness.

Thats my plan. I need to finish striping the drivetrain and then its up for sale. I already have a few people interested.

Looks good nice progress.

Thanks
