Talking new project

Here are pics of the miata I just picked up this weekend from my friend in Atlanta. Its actually my GF's car but I have some plans for it
hopefully it will get alot of suspension work, ITB's, old school meshies, old school front bumper and so on.
I know I will here some comments about it being a girly miata but I am building it for our enjoyment so thats all that matters to me.

It should be a fun mountain car with that old school vintage look kinda like the 510's and old rotaries.

yeah they are really fun and tons of aftermarket for them. Its a good cheap alternative to 240's and civics that are everywhere now.

My good friend in Atlanta who owns a exclusive miata shop had some really nice ones on hand while I was there...here are some pics

Needs a roll bar. My brother, Rob, had a R version (with a roll bar) and sold it for a removeable hardtop M roadster. His wife made him sell it. Boo.
