Cleanest rear speak install ever.

All wiring is now complete for the chassis leaving the motor next! Very excited to see some creative solutions for that challenge!!

A new co-worker just came over and said she liked my Bad Obsession Motorsports mug :lol: She's got an older NB Miata that she autocrosses. I told her to check out Project Binky :)

Just man hours he has to looking at over 100k for someone else to do all of this too. Pretty awesome as this would never get done any other way.

It’s almost surreal! The car is off for paint.

What color do you think it’ll be? My vote is white.

I could see them go with white. Maybe some vinyl logos on top. I can't imagine it'll be anything too over the top.

Front and rear suspension, driveshafts, and diff restoration.



I can't tell you how many times I wished I had one of those bearing / bushing sleeve kits. I miss my 20 ton press too.

It was a little odd, especially with the bright red bushings. We'll probably find out that Nik is a genius at fabrication but absolute shit at aesthetics :lol:
