Damn Scot This is exactly why i have been pushing for bigger stickier tires on high HP miatas. Glad to see you are alright GL with Rev2Red 2.0
I gues the count is as follows
3 engines
2 cars
1 strangely unlucky owner
I hope things go better for you in the future man.

I have a local miata guy offering a free shell if i help him with a timing belt install.
basically a stripped miata, no interior, doors, dash, entire front clip needs replacing (hood, fenders, bumper), existing panels need a bit of bodywork.
I dunno if I'd be better off just doing that and swap everything over, or find a $1500-2000 good running 100-150k miata and using as much of it as i can, then selling the rest of the parts. (engine, diff, interior, etc.)

That sounds like a bigger project than I'd want to take on. Going with a high-mileage but otherwise straight and complete car and simply swapping the drivetain and electronics sounds like a much better idea even if it sets you back 2 or 3k. Nothing worse than jumping into a basket case like that and then getting massively discouraged after a month or two because nothing is going right.

But you need to find a 1.8 and sell me you 1.6 turbo + head stuff and I'll give ya my head and part it out

The swap would be very easy if you have access to a lift. Just unbolt the shock mounts and diff and front subframe, undo some electrical and water connections and drop the exhaust hangers and take everything from your car as a whole and put it in the other shell. All you would need to do then is swap interior and electronics.
