95 is a good year to start with. Throw a '99 head on the engine and boost it!

Hahaha thanks everybody. It's definitely a work in progress. I have so many plans for it, but so little money now. I'm probably going to change all the fluids and and tires 1st. Then get them aligned. The tires on now are super dry rotted.

Cool! Nice find. Brilliant black ftw. Remove those pinstripes though
Take your bumper skin off and gently heat/push out that indentation.

How bad is the frame damage? You might want to consider starting fresh with a different chassis. Welcome btw, these are great cars

Congrats man. It looks great! How many miles are on it? Definitely get maintenance out of the way. I made sure to do that 1st you never know how well the previous owner cared for the car. I realized I hadn't changed my spark plug wires yet and installed a set from rspeed last weekend. The car felt faster after swapping those out than it did from the intake and exhaust I put on it.
Good luck with it and have fun!

Re: Finally got my Miata!
Thanks again everyone! It had 138,000 miles on it when I got it and yeah I definitely need a roll bar. I looked for the installation for a Hard Dog bar & I had no idea you had to cut the back. Does anyone know of a video or a walkthrough on how to do this?

as for walkthroughs for a roll bar and other stuff, you should totally pick up this book

That book is super helpful and teaches you how to do a ton of ****.. (maintenance, engine work, suspension, ect)
