Miata to FD
Cool project, any updates thus far? How are you going to repair the quarter panels; are they welded to the body like the s2k/miata or are they replaceable w/o cutting them off?

while it was running i heard a exhaust leak coming from around the turbos, its hard to pin point the actual location. so tell me is it easier to replace the gasket of go single turbo? haha
i bought some wheel bolts, bumper quick release springs and new bonnet pins

LOL, I was gonna ask you if you'd sell me your center caps! (lost all four of mine)
Hmm, maybe you could lend me ONE until I found suitable replacements (or maybe you could measure one for me?)
love those wheels, and I don't think anyone has them in good sizing. mine were re-lipped.
