Vehicle Detail
Car had been sitting for 10 yrs. Numerous new parts, I will try and list everything I have done thus far. New tires, carpet, belts, hoses, all fluids, Brake rotors, front (L) brake caliper, rebuilt (R) brake caliper, brake master cylinder, all suspension bushings replaced, front and rear shocks, front shock springs, brake pads, seat belts, air filter, u-joints, steering ball joints. Fitted with Miata seats, I have original seats, but they need rebuilt. Weber carb with electric choke, runs great. I replaced the Monza exhaust with mufflers from a Yamaha R1 superbike, they sound great and are much quieter than the Monza setup, I still have the Monza silencers. Car starts and runs great. A few things that will need attention, small oil leak around valve cover area. Right rear turn signal not working. Running lights not working. Headlights do work though. Windshield wipers work but won't turn off, so they are unplugged. The top is OK fabric wise, but the windows are hazed, I have tried buffing them with some success, also a small crack in rear window. Nothing was working when I bought it, it's just a matter of tracking down things and cleaning grounds for the most part. Body is in decent shape, frame does have rust as well as some dents in the body work. I also added a 3rd brake light bar on the bumper. I have tried to list everything that comes to mind and am being as honest as I can for a car of this age. Any questions, please email, thanks!
