Default Value? 99 Miata w new Blueprint 347 sbf stoker, new T5, Martin's kit, 8.8 Mark VIII,

Looking at 99 that needs paint, large rust bubble right rocker panel and rear end crash with poor repair. The good is drivetrain.

Holley Sniper is running rough but otherwise great drivetrain. $8k reasonable? The rust and rear impact damage concern me for resale down the road. Wildwood brakes, coil overs, harddog bar, 230k on body

Offer less and move drivetrain to my 95 roller?

Thanks. JT

I'd say that's reasonable. The Martin kit alone is over half of that price, and add in the engine/trans/rear, I'd say you have over $8k in parts there. See if you can get it lower of course, but to me it sound like you would have everything that you need and then some for your roller.

Thanks! Martin put the Summit Racing true Lok in the 8.8 as well. Over $15k in receipts in parts. But they depreciate too... Lol. Wish the crash repair wasn't a unwrinkle and bolt in - was good for track car but I will street it

My build took 4 years with all of the customizing/rebuilding of components. Having the parts ready to drop in is a big added value.
