Default Old car, new owner
Hello,

I just bought a Ford 302 / Miata swap. It was done by an old drag racer, so it's built like it, with a C4 and ladder bar suspension connected to a mustang diff/axle. From what I can tell so far.

Anyways, I've wanted a V8 Miata for 20 some years now and I'm super excited.to own one.

I have a bit of restoration work ahead of me, though.

Welcome.
Interesting build that you have there.
First time I have ever seen the Bonneville Salt Flat style hubcaps on a Miata.
Definitely old school.

Looks pretty good! I just bought my first Monster the last day of July. Mine was setup more as a drift car, but I want to gradually make it more of a drag/show car. Best of luck on your project. Keep us posted!
