Welp, inspected the suspension on the G8. Arms and brakes are fine, fuck the shocks and springs need to be replaced. As for the engine, I sent that to be rebuilt by somebody who has the patience and tools for that. Should be back in about a week. So, while I wait for that I decided to dust off my old Miata and finally finish it.
This is what it look like when I got it.
And here is it's current status.
I plan on replacing the hideous tan interior with black, and maybe grabbing a body kit too. I will be swapping a rotary into it, and will redo the suspension as well. I might also repaint it.
