Do I even bother with it?
So I've got a 91 Miata sitting in my shop where I'm working on it... I was wondering if you guys think it's worth my time, money and effort to rebuild or if I should just scrap it, cut my losses, and wait for something "better" to come up?
If I continue with it it's going to be getting a new motor (Built 1.8l), and a turbo kit, all new suspension, hard top, the fun stuff like that. But until then I'm going to need to cut and weld in two new rear quarter panels, both rocker panels, and the area in front of the rocker panels. I need advice to see if this is worth it? I picked up the car for $750 haha, it had a clean frame which is all I was looking for. Do I even bother? Or do I throw the wheels back on, drive it to the salvage yard, and tell them to weigh it and pay me? Thanks :sad2: |

A decent running miata can part out for more than you have into the car. Get us some pictures, with the right body mechanic knowledge you can get out some pretty nasty dents

Michigan is hell for cars when people don't care for them :( But here's the thing... for the price that I'd be putting into the car for the engine, turbo, suspension and wheels alone I would be able to buy a nice turbo'd Miata and save myself thousands of dollars and months of hassle... Just food for thought.

My only thought though is knowing how the car is built, you'd spend a lot of money buying a nice well built turbo car, if you do it yourself you know the work put into it. That's the main reason I started from scratch but different people have different views
