    NEWB from SOCAL

    Hey my name is Aaron. I bought my 94 Miata off my friend that was complete useless gathering dust and needed some TLC. Picked up a engine for 450, trans for 150 and alot of new stock parts. just bought some all four Tein lowering springs for $80 which put me like a 12 F and 12.5 R looks better on the eye without those horrid free space. Plan to get some decent coilovers but a little better than some Megans, xxr 521, hard top, some bells and whistles and i dont know what ever tickles my fancy. I work at a body shop so let me know if you need me to fiberglass those rear finishes that i know are cracked. ill just charge you for material. Why buy new when you can recycle.

    Welcome to the Machine. You work at a body shop? That's a good thing...paint, fiberglass, custom fab, I can't wait to see what you do to your car. Just be careful, modding your Miata is addictive.

    -Cheers,

    Jim

    thanks all. I work in Santa Clarita at a small shop called Car-O-Practor. I do light repairs, bondo, just learned fiberglass and R&I . I dont know how to use the frame machine properly so i stay away from it until i get the proper training. Need some work done?
