Chad, I'll definitely keep you posted on the build. Naturally the drive train will be gone, and the "best" of the interior tidbits and tops will be taken, but both donor cars have virtually pristine interiors and tops. We should have the donor body home tomorrow, so I'll take/post photos of that one as well.

As you can clearly see, the body damage to the roller is minimal in the front. As a whole, the "runt" of the litter will still be a quality assembly.

Hey if you need space when swapping out the cars, you can leVe one of your extra cars in my second stall. I have plenty of room. Can't wait to see this project started. I'm excited for G. I'm sure she hasn't stopped smiling.


Oh and chad I know of a 1.8L special edition miata that's pretty cheap. It's at work. We took it in on trade. I could be persuaded to buy it

That is exactly how I snagged my F350 (4x4 V10 8' bed)

I checked the for sale list several times a day and when the ad popped up for a $10k truck for $6k I made the call to see what was "wrong" with the deal.

Lady's husband passed away and she needed fast cash for medical bills and business expenses.
4 years later and it still runs and drives perfectly and is still worth about what I paid for it. (knocked her down to $5400 because tires were worn)

Please post up a link to the forum/thread she uses to document her build and the details. Sounds VERY interesting and an incredible opportunity for her to learn and for the both of you to have even more quality time together.
