Time to start a build log. I'm ridiculously excited to become part of this community. Ever since I bought my first car at 16 I've been tinkering and modifying. I've always wanted to build a kit car but the initial cost of a kit scared me away. I stumbled across this website about a year ago (I don't remember how) and have spent countless hours on here doing research. I spent 2 years in Vegas doing youth ministry and just returned to PA in October. My plan was to start my build as soon as I got a job but then I put an offer on a house (settlement is in 13 days) and I thought I'd just wait to start until after I moved. Then I realized that if I waited till after I moved I would be doing repairs on the house and just never get started so I built a build table and on Christmas eve I started cutting tubing.

I have some 3/4" square tubing that I need to cut and weld but I'm quickly realizing that I really should have a donor before I do much more. I've been watching Craigslist but haven't had any luck yet. Any suggestions on other places to look would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a 90-97 miata.
Here's my new house aka locost factory.

I live in Reinholds PA and would love to connect with other locost enthusiasts in the area. So if you're in the the area and would like to stop in just PM me.
