NOHOME

Not to say that someone did not sped a lot of money on that car, but all I see is an unfinished project.

No carpet on the center tunnel
No clamps on the fresh air tubes.
The arrest-me red paint looks ok, but why no pics of the work in progress?
The A pillar to rocker and the fender gap to rocker are a bit too tight.
The picture of the block looks like they cut a good amount of metal off; need to chamfer a few holes. Not sure what the fascination with painting the inside of the block is unless it is a race engine.
Where is the inside rear-view mirror?
Why is there a piece of angle iron on the front of the frame horns?
Why are there no bumpers ON the car?
I don't recall seeing a top, maybe it was there.
Miata seats. Nice, but not quite right.
Whats with the open brake line at the master cylinder area? Clutch bleed line?

Was there a price mentioned? I trust it was not more than 3-4k?

car has been for sale for a while, so possibly the tale is not a good one:thumbdown:
As peter says.....................an unfinished project, but with possibilities at that 3-4 grand level.

I recall the car from months ago and believe they want [color=#FF0033]substantially[/color] more than 4K.

Nice looking car, and will probably eventually sell for somewhat more than 4k.
Something that would concern me is, if you look closely at the pictures, particularly the one of the A-Pillar, you'll notice that the gap between the sill and front wing has been filled in. It looks like a seam now, not a body gap. Normally, that's not to make a fashion statement.... usually, that's rust.
That said, I can't understand why someone would put all that effort and time into the car, then skimp on the body....???


EDIT: I just went back and looked at the pictures again.. That wing gap could just be an optical illusion.
