Uh-oh, I may be back in the game
Sold my last (4th) miata just before I left the states to come to Germany. Been driving a '90 525I ever since, well I went to the base junkyard today to grab a taillight for said BMW, and as soon as I walked in the gates I saw a miata. Driver's door took a decent blow from something but everything seems to be straight, door still works fine, has a hardtop, all primer-black. It's a US spec '91, ran good, although I didn't get a chance to drive it, but they only want $300 for it and yes that's with the hardtop, so I think I'm gonna go back tuesday (when they're open again) and grab her (only reason I didn't yet is because I can only pull $300 a day out of the ATM and obviously my bank doesn't have an office in Germany.)
Anyone in Germany or Netherlands(Oscar, Spookyfish, looking at you!) with a source for a driver's door and a decent painter let me know, I may be looking to get rid of the HT so if you're close by an interested let me know. |
Shouldn't be too problematic to find a decent door for you - I could do a WTB on th German board.
We have quite some MX-5 drivers in and around Aachen (Sandro with his 99 turbo is even here at the board...) so they should be able to give some advice about decent painters... greets |
Awesome, I'm a little ways south of Aachen, but I've been there a time or two.
What's an average so-so paint job cost in Germany? |
Hi,
can you post some pictures from the parts, which must be painted? Then i ask my favorite painter for a price. There is no real average price, i think there is a price area from 100-400€, from painter to painter. Some painter make good prices if the parts are removed, some others can do great smart-repairs without removing, normaly it depends on the parts condition. Greets Sandro |
That's a good deal man....good find.

A buddy of mine may want that hardtop if you want to let it go for cheap

Boat paint follow up $40 Paint Job Hustler's Giant Tampon (etc) This is what's being discussed: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...duct.do?pid=64 However I kind of agree; a $300 car that's been pink and red and purple in the past is best dignified by a rattle-can job... Maybe chrome metallic bright pink? Or one of these. |
Left the gawd damn junkyard an hour and a half before they closed saturday, they've been closed ever since until I got there at 0945 (they open at ten) this mornign and the fucking cock sucking asshole had sold it, what a dick move. I tried to give him $300 to hold it saturday and he said "no no, that's OK just be here tuesday morning and I'll sell it to you then, I won't sell it for the rest of today" asshole did. I wanted to fucking hit him with something.
