Phatmiata's Roadster Story & Projects

Or I could just repaint the 93le silver.

Mmmmm, silver with 93LE interior would be delicious!

YES!

IMHO black cars are the best option for a color change if you aren't stripping it to a bare chassis. A black engine bay and on an otherwise silver car would look mighty fine to me.

Although doing that to an LE might be blasphemous.

no. and my vote to silver roadster....Question: are you looking to build a silver with red interior?? is that what you have in mind??

I have a really nice spare 93LE interior (minus a dash) that Medition sold me a few years back, so yes that is the idea.

Yea I would like to do the color swap, just not sure if I could repaint such a sexy 93LE car knowing that I have a spare 93LE interior in storage, it would be Sacrilegious would it not? hahahaha

Pretty sure I will just keep my eyes out for another low mileage Silver Miata.

I may not have got the Miata I wanted this past weekend, but at least I got this cool vintage Mirror for my Miata from Project-G

Thank You Project-G for feeding my Miata habit

KGW products are awesome. Soo vintage, but functionally up to date.

Randy my honest advice is to look for a Silver NA and swap the with 93LE interior, then sell one of your miatas and get your money back. PROFIT!

I was all excited until I saw that it's an auto

I have been on and off the fence with this one so much lately its painful, it's keeping me up at night.

But that Auto Transmission just kills it for me, I would have to swap all of that out for a manual. Which is doable, but would cost more money on top of whatever I'm going to have to pay. And I would also have to sell the '93LE to pay for that car since its on eBay I'm sure it will hit 6500+ mark. Oh and my vacation is about the same time as the auction close, so its just crappy timing.

But please keep me in mind if you guys find anymore Silver NA's

This is the first one that slipped out of my hands.......... I was too slow on the trigger.

Horders don't thin the herd...

Yeah it will be REALLY hard for me to let go of that 93LE Miata. Its so pristine I felt bad putting a sticker on it.

But I will be selling the 95 Merlot, as my buddy 93MIMI has agreed to buy it from me and do it up right.

Alright, I'm chiming in. I just bought a '94 Laguna Blue from TX with 57k miles on it. It is an A package with no cruise, and has window cranks, but it has ABS brakes as an option. I bought it because I always wanted to throw my custom red '95 M seats and other custom stuff into a Laguna. I have a '94 black B package car with 28k miles currently with my seats in it. The idea was to change things out a bit. After poring over the car, it isn't as clean as my black car, so I'm selling the Laguna. I am in the process of making it as nice as possible, and it will be. I mention the blue because I have put my red interior into a Mariner Blue car, and that was pretty awesome, this would be better. Randy, I think you should go crazy on the next build, with your contacts and drive, it would be easier for you. How about Sunburst with the LE interior, very Lamborghini. So, just thought I would throw this stuff out there, thoughts?

[— Phatmiata —]

I actually have seen a Sunburst with Red, in one of my R&S books, looks great.

I'm going to look at another Miata that popped up earlier today, fingers crossed!

[theothersawyer]

There have been like 3 or 4 silver Miatas that popped up for sale around here recently. They all had like 150,000+ miles and I know that's far too many for a car for you to own, Randy! Haha

You can always check on this one and see if it's available. Guy is in Colorado now, but it was mint when I saw it in Dallas.

Looked at this 1991 Silver today,

low miles (42K), average shape, not collector quality, needs a rear finish panel, and some door dings removed, rear bumper was hit, the deal breaker was he wanted way too much, and it was a AUTO
