Here is the thread from when I first bought the car 3 years ago.

https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/blurple-miata-project/189171/page1/

 

Long story short, I replaced a bunch of parts (seen below), got it running well, dailyed it for a couple of weeks, then the motor locked up and it has been sitting since. I have a motor for it that is included in the sale, it was sold to me as good but I haven't verified the condition of the engine. The spare engine is also out of a 1994 Miata (pre OBDII) so there is a crank position sensor that needs to be added to the spare engine.

Selling at 1k to keep it within challenge budget, if no one is interested I will part it out locally.

It comes on factory M-edition wheels pictured below, not the ones seen on the car!

Feels like a million years since I saw a hood bargain priced miata. And looks like a clean body to boot. If I weren't in the " getting rid of projects ' mode I'd probably br trying to convince my better half.  GLWTS!

Is this the part where I'm supposed to not encourage you because I did say you can have as many project cars as you want

Paul ( teamilluminata ) ​​​once told me that he believes a man should be able to have as many sets of wheels as his wife has pairs of shoes.  I'm sure we could work something out with respect to cats and project cars

You've been to the car's location many times, it's a Roos-mobile.

Bumping this back to the top, let me know if anyone is interested at this point. Next time I am at the cars location I will wash it and take better photos.

My new neighbors would absolutely love me if this showed up on a trailer before any moving vans did

My heart says want, my wallet says I need to buy plumbing supplies and possibly a stove and a dryer and there isn't much left after the last two months, my brain says I should sell some of the cars I already have first.

 

Also I'd want to convert it to automatic so we both could drive it, and my commute is not very manual trans friendly.

Just wanted to see if this is still available.  I recently signed up so I can't send PM's yet.  Thanks
