Hayden's big ass project... aka Project show and go... aka project miata rt-200
Well here it goes ladies and gents. As some of you may or may not know, I am a graphic designer but my ultimate goal has been to design cars. I have been doing it as recreation for a while and I now have an oportunity to take a fair crack at it. My girlfriend's dad is 95% there on being the investor on the project.
So here is the deal. I have some pretty decent knowlege on most everything it takes to build a car. Body work, engines, drivetrain, etc. My dad just retired at the age of 49 from being a mechaniic for 30 years so that area is definately covered.
But I'll get to the point. To start this deal I am not really going to start from the ground up, as that would take a pretty large amount of money. What I AM going to do is start with an early 90's mx-5. I am going to re-shell it and pretty much rebuild it the mazda should have built it. From suspension to engine. So anyhow, I created this thread to 1.) get it out there in the public and 2.) get feed back from some cool people who know what it is to be a car person. I'll be putting picks up in Sections for the Drawn scetches, computer aided designs, and the actual car, which I am going to take a look at this weekend and maybe pick up next week. Here we go I guess.
