Sweet.

Vacuum that shit up from under the seat too.
Bet it feels good to make progress. How do you like driving that thing around n/a?

johndoe 02-10-2008 09:27 PM

I'm guessing insurance has not seen the totaled car yet.

Even if they did it does not matter. Its his car to do whatever the hell he wants until he signs anything.

Would you be willing to remove this bit of trim on both sides and sell them to me?

Interested in selling one of your tops? Friend is looking for one thats in better shape than his current... Which leaks a lot.

Savington 02-11-2008 01:16 AM

when u gunna swap ur rimz man

MX_Eva 02-11-2008 04:05 AM

looking good. like mentioned before, must be nice to be making progress. G'luck with the battery. Hopefully you'll be able to make a lot out of selling salvage parts.

Animal Chin 02-11-2008 05:34 AM

Do you have enough room to use a jack to pry up the metal to gain access to the battery??

fourwhls 02-11-2008 08:24 AM

Air Nibbler FTW! I've installed about 6 roll bars now. 2 without, 4 with nibbler. I would never do it without again.

Lookin good Brain! Still a lot of work ahead of you. You need to invite over some newbs for some Miata education. I will say that I learned the most about Miatas tearing down a salvage car that I bought.

Braineack 02-11-2008 09:08 AM

if you need parts just PM or email me. I'm trying to sell the enter tan interior and top as one, but if you give me $$$ i cant complain, the top is perfect.

two pics I just took:
