Hey guys, looking for some advice on new fenders...
Option 1: Junkyard
Pros: OEM, Cheapish
Cons: Hard to find
Option 2: Ebay (something like this)
Pros: Hopefully good fitment
Cons: More expensive
Option 3: Cheap but ricey from ebay (this)
Pros: Really Cheap
Cons: Kinda ugly, possible fitment issues.
Going to paint anyways so color isn't an issue, but I like the idea of a primered and ready to go fender.
Advice?

I'd post an ad on your local craigslist listing what you need. I had an ad up, and I found a pair of OEM fenders for $75. You might be surprised at what you find, don't hurt to try.
The guys parting miatas on craigslist are smoking the crack, but I had at least three people respond to my body parts ad...
hehe, body parts ad on CL

Trying out a method of bushing removal:
Success!
Note to self:
Best way to do it is to let it burn for longer than you think then pound it out by the bottom or the edges. Don't touch the housing when prying, it scratches easily.

Put the timing belt back on after deleting the waterneck:
But then broke a crank pulley belt:
Need to get an easy out and some new bolts.
Also put new NGK plugs gapped to .043"

My car is from Detroit, where they pave the roads with rock salt. After 13 years of exposure to that crap, the metal part of the bushing had "become one" with the diff so I had to heat / pound / lubricate (sounds like a **** script) for about 2 hours before the damned thing would even budge.
