Welcome to the forum. We don't get many Sunburst Yellow cars here.

What are your plans for the car?

before clean up
i might paint it today after letting the valve cover sit in that eco green safe degreaser overnight. im not sure on a color scheme yet

just fwiw its worth more as a sunburst car than painted a different color. its a rarer color, and extremely desirable.
if i were you i would paint it, clean everything up, make it run well and flip it then get one with a 1.8 to mod. just my .02

that sounds like a plan to me but its my first car and miatas arent cheap around here, well one in decent condition and eventually i was going to swap a 13btt into it my friend has one sitting in his garage, but ill just restore this one and get another one to do up the way i want

sometimes its worth a drive to pick up a clean car, i drove almost 5hrs one way to get the 96m i have now but it was worth it to me because there was next to no rust and the car was in great shape at an even better price.

They are a dime a dozen and rust-free down here in Florida/Georgia area. My buddy in Atlanta is about to haul off a rust free 1.6 chassis to the crusher that needs front end sheet metal and a bumper cover. It still has a complete drivetrain.

Diggin the yellow. I agree with the above. Flip it and go grab something from the south (arizona/tx/fl) that is in good condition and cheap!
