    空白のスレート (aka RR's new ventures)

    Since I couldn't find motivation to finish my old MX5, someone dropped an offer of a red '91 being for sale, really cheap. I traded the guy also my rollbar, and I got my hands on a fairly standard, slightly rusty car for a very small amount of money.

    Pics of how it was before I got it.

    There is rust on the passenger side sill, but it will be addressed shortly.

    Bad points:
    Badly painted center console, tombstone, and cluster cover
    NA8 cloth seats
    half black half tan mat
    bad tab vinyl top
    240K kilometers on the clock
    Faded paint
    Some dings around
    Exhaust sounds like it's leaking
    Broken rear driver side tail light
    Something's not mounted correctly on the passenger aide headlight and the whole mechanism is moving, so I have to leave then constantly up.

    Good points:
    Despite the high mileage, engine pulls strong
    It's fairly rust-free, especially the interior
    Has A/C, p/s, p/windows, ABS (but the small 231mm discs)
    Functioning VLSD
    NA6 dash, which I love
    Unmolested fenders, still original pinch welds
    Almost stock, no stupid mods.

    I named it "Blank Slate", since it's a freah start for me.
