    Default My new Miata

    w00t I'm happy. The guy I got it from is the original owner, there is no rust on the car, all paperwork for everything ever done to the car including original window sticker and owners manual, and all his extra parts and Miata-related accessories. Guess how much I paid?


    $1000.





    Front & rear bumpers need paint, but my dad and I are going to spray them ourselves. The rest of the paint is buff-able, it just hasn't been washed much lately. lol

    I would like to paint the entire car, but idk if I'm going to be able to do that because of money. I have a small setup that is good to paint a bumper or a fender at a time, but it isn't enough to paint the entire car.

    Lol no money and a rollbar and some suspension goodies come first, plus it needs new brake pads and tires. I'm polishing the stock wheels in my spare time. They will look like this:

    I have been looking for one for several months now, and my dad's coworker had this one. Just look hard and you'll find a decent one.
