Nice car for 1k! What is your plan Mark? You going to part it out, drive it, or resell it?

Part it out? No way! This baby is a survivor.All the body panels were original,perfect lines,with no collision damage and the typical Miata dogleg rust holes. I welded in some repair panels,sanded to metal,reprimed the entire car,then 4 coats of base color and 4 coats of clear coat.Wet sanded and buffed,the car will look like glass. I fixed the driveshaft/seal/bushing issue and a few other tidbits..and it drives very nicely! Tranny shifts perfectly,motor is strong,no smoke,excellent oil pressure.Torsen diff too. They built these cars very well.
I bought it with the intention of selling in the spring..however.. I do have a very nice 347 on an engine stand...and a rollbar...in case it doesn't sell... :twisted:
I like working on Miatas as they are inexpensive,simple,easy to push around and don't take up much room... :lol: (plus they are cool... 8) )

wow, this is great. I always like to see someone save a car instead of part it out. I look forward to seeing it.

If this were a 17+ year old Alfa it would look like this:

If this were my "preferred brand" at 17+ years old,it would usually look like this:

You guys are killing me! :D
Jeff W, "Alpha"??? Franchement, check spelling por favor!

If your 17 old Alfa looks like above then how come my 38+ year old Alfa looks great?
