Newb question. Would a miata with dented rails be suitable for spec miata? They aren’t major dents but not scratches either. Not sure if this is something that can be fixed or if I should even be concerned with them. No serious rust. Otherwise this 2000 looks pretty healthy to me. Check pics out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

These are floor pan supports, not frame rails. A lot of SMs end up like this from highsiding curbs.

No need to worry about those. Even if they were straight, they wouldn't stay that way for long in SM.

Flattened under body? Sounds like an aero advantage to me.
