it'll be a pretty good project since i've already got my hands on a ton of parts to go on it already. i'll be getting dirty this week cleaning it up for the start of the project.

anyone got a spare AC control panel?

Awesome, and I thought mine was bad when I bought it lol.

awesome, bro I dumped so much stuff in the trash you could have used for this project. I mean suspension, seats, interior parts even a hood and fenders. Good luck

 

[dliverance]

Just curious, where did you get that thing from?

 

[speedworks]

got the car from some guy locally that does miata stuff. i was referred to him by a fellow forum member. car is in good shape for what i want to do, so i'm happy.

day 1 progress:

i sourced a set of doors and set them in place on the car. no hinges though, but sourced them already to be able to fully mount the doors soon.

day 2 progress:

cleaned up the engine bay a little and removed the headlight assemblies:

cleaned out the massive mess in the interior as well:

sourced some good parts for the project too. some even free. :mrgreen:

day 3 progress:

further deconstruction of the shell for a proper build:

the beginnings of the wiretuck project:

the harness is now sitting inside the car until i can get to it and start tucking all the wiring:

and the pile of parts that have gone home with me

progress day 4:

just gotta clean off the surface rust and the engine bay will be ready for paint.

prepped the fenderwells for paint.

progress day 5:

and the painting begins. started with undercoating and will topcoat in a satin black to match the black that will be used in the engine bay.

we need to find a way to something like a freebie list so you can get your car build. You have a lot to do ahead.

 

[TFMMC]

Nice progress!

we need to find a way to something like a freebie list so you can get your car build. You have a lot to do ahead.

a freebie list would be great. i'd just have to sit down and see what i still need as i already have alot of the parts for the car as it is.

how about instead of a freebie list, we do a get together to do work on the car. anyone in south florida wanna help out with doing some work on the project?

thanks

progress day 6:

finally got a nice HOT sunny day to continue doing some more work on the car. got around to top coating all the areas i previously painted with undercoating and completely painted the engine bay, windshield cowl area and the rear of the car.

enjoy the pics:

next up: wire tuck project
