I first want to start off by giving a big thanks to my good friends Randy (Phatmiata) and Peter (Oldgrayleather) for giving me guru knowledge in the community and helping me find my car.
I started my build almost a year ago even before I purchased my 93le. At the time, I knew I either wanted a 95m for it's 1.8L and beautiful merlot mica paint or the 93le because of it's rarity and amazing interior. Over the year of searching for a car, I made a handful of offers on different cars all over the country, but luck and time was not on my side. I decided to be patient and on a random Thursday, Peter sent me a message of a 93le located in Colorado that was within my budget and desired milage. I called the seller the same day and booked the flight. I flew out to Colorado early fathers day, purchased the car, and drove it back to Southern California. Unfortunately I had to drive through a storm in the Colorado Rockies and the scorching heat through Utah/Nevada. Lucky for me, the car handled the drive like a champ without overheating.
About the Car:
- 1993 Mazda Miata MX-5 Special Edition
- 55k miles on the clock, 3 owners prior to me.
- Original everything except the wheels
- Paint 7/10 and interior 7/10. For being 25 years old, I'll take it.
