I've started collecting Mazdas...
 

Or so it seems. Picked up a '97 Miata yesterday for, what I think, was a pretty good deal. Mechanically sound. Just some cosmetic problems. Driver seat leather & some foam are shot, hardtop needs a repaint, she has some dings & one fender replaced, but wrong color, both bumpers could use a repaint & the soft top window might be shot. I think it's just the zipper so I'm going to order that $13 zipper rescue kit & see.

I plasti-dipped the hardtop for now along w/the wheels since they look like shit otherwise.

I wanted another vert & I wanted cheap. I accomplished that by finding this car.

I put a bra on the front to hide the spot of paint damage there. I touched up the many areas of chipped paint on the rear bumper. I have CalTrends seat covers on the way. I painted the calipers flat black while I was doing the wheels. I decided to plasti-dip the mismatched fender too. At least it is black now.

I also claybared her then took my buffer to the paint with Maguire's correction compound then their polish & wax.

I still would like to find a used roll bar, but nothing on the forums yet so I will keep waiting.

I have to control myself, she is supposed to be my cheap drop top fun cruiser.

Nice. That will scoot.

What I need is another Corvette. Miss my C6.

LOL @ what my insurance company put for the reason I have 3 cars. No, I didn't tell them this.
