    My Angry Miata!!



    Soooo i kinda waited a long time to make a build thread since i got the car almost 7 months ago... but here we go anyway!

    I bought my 93 with 170k miles, destroyed top, broken shifter, no radio, rough idle, blown headlights, and broken lens on the tailights, and stock EVERYTHING! for $900
    This is what it looked like...

    Really, that first pict should be your avatar.

    BTW, I'll delete my posts if they're getting in your way.
