So it begins I guess. Got my rollbar swapped and my clear turn lens and smoked parking lights. it got dark before I could finish, so finished product pics tomorrow afternoon.

Just fyi, air nibblers are butterz.

did your old wheels get any rash on them or are they going over too? lol i guess your not gonna get that old battery out

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?

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.

Yeah i dunno how im goign to get that battery out, its new with a lifetime warrenty so i want it :rofl: wheels off the old one are already swapped over.

i did vacuum, the air nibbler made a mess of thinks. It feels good, still gotta get used to no p/s, otherwise I hate manual mirrors :(

we got our check and the salvage title.

You should swap the tan interior over too while youre at it.

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

sawzall!!! I mean you dont care how that fender looks right? just dont cut through the battery...

just pry on that corner till the battery is free

Vary Nice!

Air nibbler.

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

when u gunna swap ur rimz man

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.

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

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.

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:

I want my shit to be shiny.

Wow, you have a clean car for once! J/K!

Looks like a 4X4. I say we off road it before you swap the suspension

nah mayne, this is a 4x4 aha Attachment 214556
right after put the rims on, springs haven't settled, got new suspension now :D

fuckin ricer, stickers and you haven't even turboed your car

READ THE FUCKIN FAQ

Yo Scott go buy those bolts and put them in. There is your reminder. So how bout next time I come over to help we install the easy shit in my car first so we dont have to do it when it is freezing cold out. I NEED MY COPS!!!

Ahah ricer, because i have 17" rims? And lots of people on this forum haven't turboed their cars yet, sorry i dont have cash coming out of my ass.

And what makes you think he was speaking about you? But ya, +1 on the ricer comment.

well i got my balls busted last time so i thought it was directed toward me...didn't want to start it again lmao, my bad Savington

Oh don't get me wrong, he was probably talking about you.

I still cant get over how shiny it is!!!! btw thanks for the fender and bumper! ps anyone have a GV lip for sale? Broken any condition!?!?!?!

For once, I was actually breaking Scott's balls.

But hey, fuck you too miataz :magna:

I have Noah's broken old one. Held together with pink zipties and love. You can have it for $35 shipped.

Shit, if he doesn't want it I'll take it. My name is Noah too... so you'll be returning it to the rightful(ly named) owner.

:bigtu:

edit: i dont dad does :D ahahah

B,
