Project RWD

[Morgan]

Got a '92 miata a few weeks ago, its really Kevin's deal but I financed it so I thought I'd share...

Day we picked her up:


Ensuing body work and prep:





Flat Paint v1.0:




Flat Paint v2.0:


Flat Paint v3.0:



We have been through several different options on the exterior of the car [wrapping it in vinyl, rattle can, boat style paint, single stage....] and have yet to be entirely happy with it. However, it is a cheap STS2 car and keeping that in mind I'm just happy with "not rusting away paint."

As she sits:
1.6L 5 Spd @ 187,000 miles - runs like a champ!
new brakes [rotors, caliper rebuild, pads, fluid]
16" Mini wheels with Hankook RS-2s
crappy duel exhaust [new stock cat-back arrives Monday]
great leather interior
a rockin wood steering wheel
desperate need of a good top

Our main goals with this car are to have a fun to drive, reliable 3rd car that we track at our once a month autox events - so far, so good... For 116hp/120tq it paced a few seconds behind my pathetic attempts in the yaris around a 1.5+ mile autox course. Figures that I spend a lot of time and money on my car only to have a $1500 miata pace me - c'est la vie!

Enjoy, more to come later!
