Like I said... Chris is an idiot, but he's choosing to be an idiot for funzies.

This is as opposed to some other people on this forum that are just clueless idiots to begin with. One such clueless idiot is going to go update his build broken thread now.

There's a difference between choosing to be an idiot for fun and having no choice but to be an idiot. You're choosing to be one for funzies re: dorifto.

I just keep breaking things because I don't know any better. I'll let you guess which kind of idiot that makes me!

Don't worry, I doubt I have the time, inclination, or ability to compete with both your post count or your post per day count!

PROGRESS UPDATE and the cheetah miata.

Maggies old wiring harness and dashboard have been chucked in the dumpster where they belong. Ready for new parts and pieces to start going in. Here are some pictures. BE GONE DEMONS
Looking really empty.
Will she ever go back together?
Huh so i have a floor in my trunk. Havent seen that in awhile.
Maggie and the cheetah miata last summer at NHMS for a track weekend. First time we got to use the new tow setup. 2008 volvo semi truck with sleeper cab. Air conditioned car hauler trailer with a lift built in. We brought 4 miatas that weekend in that trailer. Hanging a hammock between the lift uprights made a great place to sleep.

Alright peoples of miata turbo. Update time again. My gt wagon kelsey well broke. So was repairing that by making more horsepower.... oops. Anyways new harness had to come back out to repair some rust, drill out some bad captured nuts and seat mounts and redo the 3 boxes behind the dash. But the last 2 weeks it once again went fro bare shell to almost full interior again. This car is pleasent to work on after busting knuckles on subarus all day at work. But enjoy the pictures Patching holes in the floor and removing surface rust
Yay dash in for good.... hopefully
Carpet laid in. Steam cleaning was a good hour well spent.
Working on some wire i probably forgot.
Seats kinda in! I need seat brackets.
Its been over a year since i could sit behind the wheel of my miata. This was a big moment for me.
