lol! I should, right... Seriously, it'll get painted properly one day when I've finished the exterior, interior, engine work, suspension, etc... not particularly in that order. Soo, yeah.... I'll get to really paint it sometime in the next 3 to 5... years? lol |

Not really much of a "build update", but I borrowed a hardtop from my buddy Stoly last weekend in anticipation of rain for a drive to Austin for a run on Lime Creek Road with some friends. A few pics...
With Stoly's other Miata, Flipper when I picked up the top.. https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1331823501 Making a stop along Lime Creek Rd to regroup and to snap a few pics... https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1331823501 Elbows out! lol! https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1331823501 The end of the day at Bikini's in San Marcos for some food & drinks... https://www.miataforumz.com/attachme...ine=1331823501 I had an absolute blast. It's been about 10 years since I did my last "Miata drive" (in my old NB), & I did fairly well considering how slammed the car is. The only carnage was when I nailed a hidden bump at the bottom of a hill and went airborne, dislodging a spark plug wire from the coil. Running on 3 cylinders is all fun & games until you need to get up a hill.... Sadly, I had to give back the hardtop, but I have to move that higher on the "parts to buy" list. The car really felt so much tighter with it on. |
low and slow!
