I'm selling because I built this car when I was young and single and now I am older and married and have kids.
As a result, I haven't touched the car in the past 2 years and my wife just wants it out of the garage at this point. |

Am I blind or are you asking $5k for the car? Detail it inside and out, clean up the wiring and I can see it selling for $10k in today's market easy.

To be completely honest, I realize I could do x y and z and get the car sold at a higher price.
The two main problems are that

Somebody please buy this so I don't have to explain to my wife why we have two miatas and zero workable family cars atm.

My love and hate for this car all center around all of those wire nuts.

Sad thing is I'm in almost the same situation. Going to be selling my 95 flyin miata with tons of mods because I have kids and no time for it. Even plan on selling it for the same price and I'm also in Tampa. It's funny how similar our situation but boy am I going to miss the car.

I thought it was a great deal also. I drove the car a few hundred miles from Tampa.
Lots of great parts on the car no doubt however it also needed quite a bit of work... It was overheating on the highway (airflow would go around the radiator, no oil cooler installed), had coolant leaks (radiator overflow nipple was broken off along with loose fittings elsewhere) and oil leaks (oil pressure sender, valve cover gasket and other ones I have not gotten to yet) would stall at lights. Starter would occasionally not engage, and unrelated intermittent no start issue. A/C bracket and power steering bracket missing bolts/tensioner piece, has a cracked downpipe, and a lot of wiring that needs to be redone (solid core wires with wire nuts, wiring going through chassis without grommets, braided steel lines rubbing on wiring and rubber hoses). For example a previously -partially- installed alarm system was feeding ignition circuit in parallel. Wiring was melting against the exhaust and the valve cover (and getting brake master/reservoir too hot to touch). The link serial adapter had broken solder joints. The blow off valve was pulling in unfiltered air at idle and cruise, map sensor on same line as blow off valve right behind the throttle body, broken shifter pivot bushing, broken hose clamps and more. Here's how some of it looks after more than 20 hours of work. It is far from being done with more shop time scheduled this weekend to fix the exhaust (completely open at the moment, adding a cat and a muffler and fixing the leaks). I am almost done with electrical work, then I will be moving back to routing fuel and air lines to simplify and reduce possible failure points, and other adjustments like adding a check valve to the brake booster. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...db35274949.png |
