I have the chance to buy a Miata for $300, needs an engine and right fender. Thoughts? Input? Oh its a 5 speed soft top.

do it and swap a 5.0l h-0 foxbody mustang engine into it, my uncles doing a project such as that as we speak

Monster Miata..do et.

Don't even need engine swap.

Flyin miata turbo kit and fat cat motorsports coilovers.

It'd make for one hell of a fun machine.

Heh I just want a daily beater other than my Olds. I'm going to look at it tomorrow.

why anybody would waste their time swapping in a 5.0 from a fox is BEYOND me...
you could LS swap.
or you could just go turbo.
but for 300 bucks you CANNOT go wrong with that.

LS is easy 20 grand.

Not worth it.

13B-REW swap (twin turbo rotary from RX7)

**matt5112** · 07-05-2012

back to reality: guy wants it as a beater.

not project car.

Only question: are you a smaller person?

If not, might want to just sit in it for a while to see if you're comfortable.

I like the streamers on your antenna, they'll match your pom poms quite nicely.

177lbs @ 6ft I fit in one, not super comfortably. Just looking to get to work and back. Maybe flip it after while. I've been in one that was slammed driving under truck trailers fast and furious style, well not really they were parked at a distribution center. Was a cool experience.

Dont even replace the body parts.

Dented up fast cars are cooler.
