hey dave, i know what you mean. project miata 1.0 left me scratching my head wondering why in the hell the previous owners had done what they did almost every time i looked at the car.

the current car seems to be a bear to work on. EVERYTHING we’ve done to it has take 2 or 3 times as long as it should have. all they guys around here have taken to calling it “Bitch Car” because it’s a bitch to work on.

I’m about to do the same thing with a 97 Miata STO, but your car is actually cleaner than mine and it only has 114K on it. Owner #2, whom I haven’t met, was sketchy at best in his maintenance, leaving the car a bit of a basket and in desperate need of engine TLC, a bit of bodywork and a re-spray. It’s taken six months of saving, scrounging and scavaging, but my project is about to get underway. Hope to have the car in reasonable condition by the time I can drop the new Robbins top again.
