Just now saw this post. I guess you can disregard my pm. Good luck with the radio. I know I wanted to do the same thing but ultimately I liked the idea of British smiths gauges in my car better.

Some quick pictures as it started to rain again.
Engine compartment is not 100% clean, some "aftermarket rustproofing" that is being soaked under the brake booster is still softening
Pictures should put to rest the following:
Correct and original front bumper decal placement
Single radiator hole on early cars
Windshield wiper motor reversal on early cars
Early paint quality of Mariner Blue
What October 1989 first draft Miata spec Panasports look

That miata looks awesome, but it doesn't have daisies. If you should want to sell those wheels and get daisies I might be interested.
make me an offer I can't refuse and the rims (but not the new tires I put on this AM) could be yoursOriginally Posted by Andy
2 questions .. there a way to repair the digital plates on the factory radio? Mine are warped in color from the sun. I like the OEM radio and want to restore it. and 2 ... What did you do to repair paint/rust issue from underneath the brake booster from the master? I have some paint coming up in that area and some rust. Wire brush? And what can I do to rust proof it? Thank you!
No, the only way to fix the radio is to replace it with a "like and kind" unit of the same era.
Careful masking off and small dremel size wire brush was used, the proper back masking and single stage paint products to repair that area.

Too many to list
Instead of being part of the problem, why not be a part of a successful solution.
Did you have to remove the booster? Some fluid from mine has ran down the booster to underneath it so the firewall paint is coming up where the shelf and firewall meet. What rust proofing did you use? Thank you.
I use an etch primer
Removing the booster depends on whether there is rust and bare metal showing under it or not. Every one of them is different.

Thank you for the information, I have to get around to replacing the seals or the cylinder on mine ... haven't had the cash to do it.
