Default picking up a 97

Leaving out in the morning to pick up another miata or at least part of one
When the deal was first made I wanted it to restore my other 96.
I can't say I purchased it sight unseen as I have seen pics but still they do not tell the real story .
I am fortunate that the wife is easy to get along with and even scarificed her money for a new laptop for me to get this . She knows that the engine alone is worth almost what I paid for it
The one I am picking up has had a lot of work done to it for racing or
autoxing maybe both
I find myself hating to see so much work put into a car and then it all be for nothing. I am now considering following through with the car as it is.
This depends on what all I do actually get and what all is left to get it into a state of racing,or autoxing
It also depends on how willing the sons are to help since I am now limited to what I can do as far as working on one
A long drive in the morning about a 4 hour trip one way

Life is a series of trade-offs. We all have to choose which ones to make.

Sixshooter you can move this to The thread that FRT_FUN has started

https://www.miataforumz.com/showthread.php?t=43
I picked this car up from him and do see a lot of time and effort spent in the car ,I would have made this post there to start with but since we had not met and finalized the transaction I thought it better to not say anything .

Glad to hear the car is staying in the MFz family.
