Bought a Miata. Because Exocet.
Hello Miata Turbo! My name is Greg and I have a serious addiction to building awesome cars. Picked this guy up August 2014.
...and it's..... GREEN! :scared:
Found it on eBay. Probably the 100th one I came across. Threw a low ball max bid on it expecting the bids to go over like they did so many times before. Ended up getting the car for a lot less then my max bid.
...and I parted it out. Mostly...
Details of the build thread are here. More details than you probably care to know. Aka: long read.

The same week I picked up the green car, I also got an 01 base model in black. Unexpected but with some minor work, it's been a great DD ever since. Did a Torsen swap, basic maintenance, shifter rebuild, new OEM top and hard top with defrost... Nothing major. Car is still stock and a joy to cruise around in.
This guy is scheduled to show up this weekend and is destined to become a Catfish by Bauer (reading this Cord?).

When the weather gets nicer. Got an idea for a more professional looking video. Better than rolling pictures anyway. During the build I had the GoPro setup and took a few hours worth of vids but didn't know you had to format the disk in the camera. All those memories got lost in the corruption. :( Hense the lame picture video.
My wife calls me grumpy cat. I have a resting angry face apparently....
