I did a thing.

with all the OCD cleaning you have done, you have to paint those tin cover panels on the back shelf before they corrode or rust like they do on the NA cars.

this thread is getting awesome fast!

Already painted the tank cover. I will insulate and paint the parcel shelf when I do the rollbar in the future.

wow that does indeed look very nice!!!! I take it you're going to swap the doorcards for black ones too like you did with the dash?

Cant wait to see the seats!

[HarryB]

Oh, fuck. I have been discussion this with RustRat a bit in the past. I would give painting the lower part of a tan dashboard in red, to create the NB equivalent of a 93LE. Something like this (excuse the crappy photoshop)



Please, PLEASE add an oxblood canvas top as well, please!

[— kung fu jesus —]

Thanks all.

The seats in previous posts are going in over the carpet. I will use black door cards with NB2 cards later.

I didn't want an all red interior, it's just not suitable to my style or intentions with this car. I drew up mockups and felt this was a better combination and realistic choice for me and what I want. I like where it's going so far. That is aftermarket carpet for a '94-97 in Bright Red from stockinteriors.com. The interior bits were supplied by our forum sponsor, Alex at Scratch n Sniff.

Oh my... brb, going to touch myself a little. White exterior with red interior, killer combo.+1 for some red soft top.

Also, Alex is the man. He has helped me source various LE parts, since there were none in Europe.

This was a quick exterior study I did after I drew up the plans. This was even before I had bought the car, or really started looking. I like a fixed hardtop, so that's what I've going with. I have some quick sketch studies of the interior somewhere.

There is a white NB2 in the auctions right now w/ an un-touched front end haha!!!

[HarryB]

Cool render; mind asking where did you got that model from and if you are willing to share?

Also did I mention I am both jealous and inspired of the awesome work you are doing? This is already on my list of "favorite builds".

Randy I also believe JDM NB2 RS models came with red seats as well, I have drooled over multiple sets on YAJ while contemplating an LE-style interior swap.

My gold RPF1s would look so good on there.

[MiataQuest]

Sorry, but I am not feeling the gold wheel love. I can say that since it's just a model in the early design stages, right
In my mind the gold has nothing to do with the white, black, and red cues of the car.
The wheels look like a set of wheels borrowed from another car as a temporary work around.

The model also looks like 16" wheels versus 15"

Old guy says... Maybe change the wheels in your model to be similar to my Audi 5000 wheels.
Try it, you'll might like it.



I plan to do that to my White NA, they can be siblings!

[—tsingson—]

Gold isn't for everyone. I feel the same about the black wheels.
