:thmbsp: See? All that hard work paid off! :banana:

Congrats, big guy. Takes some brass balls to post the pics of the old 'pinkie'. Sweet looking ride, now, and the g/f loves it too? How good is that?

Yeah, Chris, we give you a lot of hell, but THAT'S really somethin' to be proud of...Congrats!!-Sandy G.

Thor, Remember in the darkest days of the restoration when you were asking yourself if was worth all the blood sweat and tears? Now there are a whole lot of Miata folks telling you yes it was worth it. Congrats guy, you deserve it.

- Pete

Very cool, especially since you did it yourself and while supporting a family too. It is well deserved for sure. :thmbsp:

That's a sweeeeeeet ride ya got there, congrats on a job well done!

Congratulations!!If anyone ever deserved recognition for hard work and perserverance,tis you!!

Alan

Well done Thor. Now that the work is done, what's next?

Joe

Well done and well deserved after all the blood, sweat and tears.

Rob

That's a nice affirmation for you, your (and other's) efforts, and the car!
Congratulations!

You and your family deserve all the kudos tou can get.

I just wish I could fit into one of those.

Congrats, man. Fitting award for a sweeet ride!

Pete

Really nice job Thor ! Very well done :thmbsp: :yes:

It'll be fun for a long time!

Thanks everyone!

What's next? Welllllllllllllllll besides a few more little bits of chrome that have caught my eye this winter we will compression test the engine if it checks out ok then I will be installing some sort of forced induction, either a turbo or a super charger. Now that I have a taste I want a little more zip ;) I would like to also do the clutch (stronger one to compensate for the added power) and get a torsen (posi) rear end. I would also like to replace all the suspension bushings and while the suspension and the A arms are off the car I want to paint the entire underside with Por lok or some other rustproofing/locking paint. Maybe get the A arms powder coated. Really depends on time and money tho ;)

far out, thor. congratulations. yeah, forced air is a necessity! :banana:

W/more "git up 'n' go" you might wanna check out a better set of binders-Brembos, f'r instance. -Sandy G.

Thanks everyone!

To finance all of this you are going to need some cash. To help out I'm willing to take your CV's off your hands to help with the process. :yes:

Hey, it was worth a try.

Nice ride BTW.

Jim

Wish my '67 Lincoln Convertible was fixed up as nice....<Sigh>-Sandy G.

Good for you, you have a right to be beaming about this one, :beerchug:

....say...


My Mom has a Miata....maybe I can get a hold of it, looks like fun.

I really want my Ford Fiesta back.

That's great Thor - you deserve the honor! :thmbsp:

Take it for a ride and see ;) They are more fun than drinking :thmbsp:

Never! Sell the CV's! I did sell my toob amp to finance some of the Miata tho ;)

JUst like last winter it will be scrounge the net and buy bits and pieces here and there, do the work ourselves and see where we are at come spring ;)

Damn Thor, that's just swell!!

Sorry for taking so long to give you the props on this.

BTW, everytime I pull next to a Miata at a light I think of you and your ride, and get just a wee bit jealous.

Cruising the coast with the top down must be killer; enjoy what we have left of the summer :thmbsp:

Congratulations! What a transformation... :yes:

way to go THOR! :banana: :banana:

Simply beautiful :)

All the blood, sweat and tears, as well as our jabbing you here at the site paid off. The car looks to be an awesome ride.

Chris
