It would be cool but you can see that the right fender was bumped up factory for it. Surprisingly when I installed the Miata exhaust the SAAB muffler hanger came out right on top of the stock Miata poly mounts.

I need to clear the shop so that we can get the guy who painted the SAAB's K5 Blazer in this coming weekend to swap a couple axles so it needed to be driveable. Got the dash done.
Got it on the ground. It looks so small after staring at it on jackstands for two years. Looks soooo much better at normal ride height.
Went to triumphantly drive it out of the shop under it's own power for the first time in 30 years and...the slave cylinder is bad. Not surprising as the last four Miatas that I have built or worked on had a bad slave. This one bled fine but now there's no pedal. Wife and I bled it again, had pedal for a minute and bad again so I'll pick one up tomorrow.
