Hello Miata Turbo! My name is Greg and I have a serious addiction to building awesome cars. Picked this guy up August 2014.

...and it's..... GREEN! :scared:










Found it on eBay. Probably the 100th one I came across. Threw a low ball max bid on it expecting the bids to go over like they did so many times before. Ended up getting the car for a lot less then my max bid.

...and I parted it out. Mostly...

Details of the build thread are here. More details than you probably care to know. Aka: long read.

Just watch the video for a summary.

 

Took about a year to finish the car.

 

Next day guys at work stopped by during lunch to check out the car and get rides.

 

...and this is what she looks like today. Waiting on my plate to come in the mail.

Nice day photo shoot.

 

I love it

This is exactly want I want But in a sunburst orange color like what you would find on the mazdaspeed protege



When can we expect some videos of this thing?

Drool

 

The same week I picked up the green car, I also got an 01 base model in black. Unexpected but with some minor work, it's been a great DD ever since. Did a Torsen swap, basic maintenance, shifter rebuild, new OEM top and hard top with defrost... Nothing major. Car is still stock and a joy to cruise around in.





This guy is scheduled to show up this weekend and is destined to become a Catfish by Bauer (reading this Cord?).

 

Thanks man!

When the weather gets nicer. Got an idea for a more professional looking video. Better than rolling pictures anyway. During the build I had the GoPro setup and took a few hours worth of vids but didn't know you had to format the disk in the camera. All those memories got lost in the corruption. :( Hense the lame picture video.

My wife calls me grumpy cat. I have a resting angry face apparently....

 

Any ideas who I can get to insure my Exocet? Just for the occasional street ride. I have insured as Miata in Florida, but I would really like insured for the actual value.
