Daughter's summer car project has begun.
We just paid $600 cash for this beauty today. 1996 with only 96K on it. Brand new tires, brand new top, pristine interior. We are also buying a pristine '94 body (also red), which we'll take title to this evening. It's her plan to move the drivetrain to the other body and take the best of either car to build 1 great car. From there we'll sell off what we don't need.
Both cars have brand new tops, and perfect interiors. We'll keep whichever is better. The body we're picking up tonight should run us $800. She's going to chronicle the entire thing and put it on the web. Front end damage is very minor, and other than the radiator, the engine is not hit at all. No rubs. Pictures of the "new" body are in post #62. Last edited by Datawiz; 05-20-2014 at 5:49pm. Reason: Pictures of '94 R Body included |

Couldn't have chosen an easier platform. Nearly everything is either 15 or 17mm!
Plus there's SO MUCH go fast information on the Spec Miata forums. |

Not trying to take anything away from Geraghty Anne's project but here is one that has been a complete body off restoration and modification by another young lady. She is rebuilding a Fiero and simultaneously installing a 3.4 Liter V-6 in it.
She started when she was 12-years old and is just about through. 12 year olds and cars - Kathryn's Fiero - Pennock's Fiero Forum |
