not much work has been done on my car. I have been rather frustrated and lost motivation because of my engine situation. I did get out there last weekend and tore the car apart so I can finish the frame welding so I could paint it. I redid the steering rack mount so I have fore/aft adjustment so I can try to correct the akerman issues I was having. Right now I am in the middle of fitting the panel behind the seats. Also, while taking the car apart, I tidyed up the wiring harness. I will finish taping and wrapping it while out of the car.
The big news though, is I bought another miata. Why do these things keep following me home. This is my third miata now. People are going to start to wonder about me, if they havent already. This is a 96 M edition miata. Girl wrecked it in St Louis during an ice storm. A two truck picked it up and the girl decided not to pay the storage or hauling fees so the tow truck company took ownership of the car and after the 30 day waiting period listed it on craigslist. Because they have limited space and want to move the cars they keep getting, they have a policy of selling cars for $500 if running and $300 if non running regardless of the car. So I got this one for $500. 144k miles, Torsend II, 5 spd, M edition leather seats, new top with glass and defrost, new tires, all the power options, abs, wood nardi shift knob and hand brake handle. Tons of good parts for me to sell. Tons of receipts from the previous owner of all the work done; new water pump, wires, timing belt, plugs, coils EGR. all within last 10k miles. One bad thing is one of the M edition wheels was destroyed in the accident, so I do not have a matching set. I wish i did as they look nice and would be a good set for the seven for normal daily driving.
