This is going to be a slightly photo intensive blog because I built my car last winter and can't particularly remember everything that I did.
I've got a spec miata in NJ where I've ripped everything out and rebuilt the motor, got a brand new transmission, and a torsen differential to go in it. The chassis was all beat up and I felt like it was a good time to go ahead and get a new one, especially when i picked one up for 200.00. I got lucky with it considering it has brand new hubs/suspension bushings and is absolutely perfectly straight with 0 rust. Here's what it's replacing. The car looks pretty decent in that picture, but trust me... in person its like someone crushed a beer can then pulled it back out:
Part I: The day i brought home my rolling chassis for $200.00
I've got some friends who are e-30 NUTS so i was able to bum a set of basket weave's off of them.
*not me in the picture
