Project Little Cousin.
91' NA White Miata - B package - No Accidents - No Rust
I am going to do my best to get this build thread up to date. Let me start off with an intro. I come from the land of Subarus. I picked up a 09' WRX hatch new and owned it up until last summer. The WRX had a lot of money into it and lots of goodies to show... built engine, suspension, fuel system, brakes, drivetrain... I had about 50% of the car's new value in parts alone added to it when I sold it. It was a great car but I do not miss it. I sold it for a good reason. To pick up this Miata and start a better project. I was sick of seeing my project car get destroyed by Minnesota winters and daily driving. I wanted something that I could wrench on for 15+ years. At the time I also picked up a modded Subaru LGT, but that ended up being a PITA and too much work for a DD so I sold it off last fall. Now I am down to 1 project car and a DD that I don't have to wrench on.
Here is the info for the car when I picked her up last May.
