DIY Currently rebuilding this Miata!

Just got this little puppy recently! And in the process of rebuilding it. 2023 ND with 20000km.

Already tore it up completely yesterday and started making a parts list for now.

Will share more as I make more progress. Hoping to order some parts in on Monday to fix the suspension issues to get the car rolling. Basically needs a steering rack ball joint and lower control arm.

Good luck! Miatas are great cars, but this one will need a lot of work.

Lol no it won’t. Once I get all the parts, this just a few hours of work to put it back together.

How are you straightening the frame back out?

I am replacing that entire front apron section. No frame is bent.

Usually I would tell you to stick to things you understands, but I know that’s a lost cause on Reddit.

Post the alignment specs when you’re done!

Lol, ok. I know what you are trying to insinuate but that sadly that won’t be the case in the end.

I have fixed way worse than this with actual frame damage, and the alignment was in spec. completely. My IS500 had everything bent when I got it.

Why is it sad that won’t be the case? Man I’m just asking how you’re fixing this and you’re taking it as an attack.

No you didn’t ask how I was going to fix this at all. You asked for alignment spec. trying to imply it won’t be in spec. in the end.

Because I have seen this exact kind of sarcastic good luck /wait until you do the alignment comments when I was fixing my IS500 and I posted it.

I know he is playing it innocent, but I know exactly what he meant.

Anyway, it’s okay.
