Anyway, so I started today by heading over to my dad's friend's brother's sister-in-law's husband's car lot. Yeah, small world. So, I got there in the Diddler.
And I was checking out the various cars there, when I came across this poor thing.
I've been reading this thread forever, and I know a good starter project when I see one. So, I handed my dad's friend's brother's sister-in-law's husband four hundred dollar bills, loaded the Miata onto the trailer, and took off for home.
"Wait, your parents let you use the whole driveway and garage?"
Nope. This is my own house that I inherited. I kinda sorta need some roommates to help pay the bills, so if you're into cars like me, and looking for a place to stay, HMU. Anyway, so I do the compression test on the motor, etc. All in all, the motor's pretty much shot, but the rest of the chassis is good, except the unknown mileage OE suspension that's blown to hell. But, I've gotten some ideas for an engine swap, and I've started drawing out what I kinda sorta want it to look like in the end.
