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.

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 ;)

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.

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

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:
