Sooooooo, after a rather long hiatus, I suppose you can say I'm back into the Miata scene. Little bit of a picture back story for everyone to remember who I am, lol.


Started out with a '91 NA that I started forming to my personal likings of rat rods and cars of yesteryear...

Transitioned slowly to the next stage, got bored with the black and decided to paint the body after some vw influence...

Traded my truck for a '92...

Stripped and sold the '92 chassis, and took the best parts to toss on the '91, got rid of the other parts to get it the way I wanted it and ended with this...

So after losing interest, I ended up parting out the car and selling off everything that was still worthy to feed my new addiction... '98 Honda VTR1000 SuperHawk...

As fate would have it, I was not destined to stay on two wheels while on the pavement for long and was taken out by a careless driver in a Honda Odyssey...

Luckily, I refused to ride without proper safety gear on all the time, so I was okay save for some tissue damage in my left thumb and a broken right ring finger.

Soooooo..... long story short, I bought myself a '99 NB that's grossly stock save for the few things I did to it when it came into the family. My mother had been developing more and more problems with her right arm, so it was time for her to move onto an automatic, so I gave her market value to help her out in getting a new car. I'll post up pictures after I get it presentable. :fp:

Glad that you are alright somewhat after that accident. One of the reasons I will stay in a car. Can't wait to see your NB. Kinda got a soft spot for them. :mrgreen:

I was a bit shaken, but nothing that could really keep me away from the modification bug, but I can start off with a rather fresh canvas again and go from there. I still had a few things left over that I could use on the NB from the NA, so what I ended up keeping will more than likely find it's way onto the car along with some other fancy stuff. Plans aren't definite on the overall outcome, but I have several ideas that will keep the grins to a maximum for years to come.

Your 91 was pretty awesome. I normally only like clean cars, but every once in a while I see a rat rod or boso style car that just does it for me.

LostSoul is OG as ****. Seeing that pic of his car next to Skinny's takes me back to the glory days of slam before it was a hypefest. It's nice to have an OG like LSM back in the game.

I think he beat me by 1/4" that year

He had 13's, so that might be the difference.

A little Miata therapy . . . just what the doctor ordered. It sounds like you are doing well and that is good to here. You are definitely a creative guy and will look forward to seeing what you do with your canvas this time.

Can't wait to see the nb. My first Miata custom color was inspired by yours. Did the almond color by spray can.

Nice to have you back in the fold! Glad you came out of the two wheeled experience relatively unscathed. I too am looking forward to your new creation.

We both had 13's, I had negative offset MkIII's and was rubbing like a mofo still. I actually pulled the fenders a little when we stopped to meet the Tampa crew.


Thanks for the warm welcome back everyone!! :slayer:

So here she is.... '99 NB w/ 108k on the clock. Mostly stock with RoadsterSport axle back, Tein springs, and "surfboard" seats, everything I added, lol. Needs paint, and a whole lot of other things......
