I have an insurance buying agent trying to get this Miata for me.

http://www.ridesafely.com/inventory.asp?InventoryID=809042073 (http://www.ridesafely.com/inventory.asp?InventoryID=809042073)

It had ABS, a hard top and better interior than mine. If we get it, it will cost me $2300.00

I'm hoping to fix it. I might use my car as a donor, and keep the rest for spare parts or get parts from wrecking yard to fix it and sell my car.

Mabe I will by a third Miata as a donor. :huh:

The plan is to get a race car, daily driver, with ABS and a hard top.

I have never done this kind of repair work, hope it doesn't have substructure of frame damage.

I like the color better too.

This picture has no window washer container in view so the car must have ABS

Will the good thing is the air bags are good...best thing to do is pull all the front end off and see whats bent underneath...then find a bodyshop to pull it back straight

here is a hood.... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/835643767.html get an original hood, not the steel replacements....buy new fenders....they are inexpensive

give Mark a call....he is an autocrosser and a good friend....tell him I sent ya....Pat

P.S. good find...
