In all her glory, I present Miata #2. I picked her up today for $750. It's obviously not the prettiest car in the world with the exterior blemishes, but I can fix that with no problem. The biggest issue is the infamous short nose crank failure. However, I plan to have the engine sitting in my garage next weekend under the knife and should have no problem with the remedy. The car is complete including the original driver's side door (which can be easily fixed by me). This Miata is a '90 MY A-package with 114k miles (just a baby when compared to other Miatas).
I am presented with several options. These include a complete restoration, complete restoration with turbo addition, and Spec Miata Racer. I could make my money back by just parting the car out, but there's just no way I could do that.
I already have a crank shaft that is awaiting polishing. That plus new main and rod bearings should get her running without a hitch.
Just thought I'd share. That makes one Protege5 and two Miatas.....what an addiction :/ . Thanks, Paul!! :D
