I'm sure the suspension, > interior, body panels, electricals were all like new. Yes, actually. Most of that was like new even when I finally sold it. Bodywork repaired and completely repainted. New larger, better wheels and tires. Marker lights replaced with smoked models, along with new fog lights and all the new wiring to make it happen. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1feEroECVBIxhJp8VNVQfUuLZH2_MIzfD/view?usp=share_link New, low-profile dual more powerful headlights replacing the original single pop-up headlights. (Sorry; don't have a link to a pic of those) All new suspension and chassis stiffening. That's new coilover shocks from FlyinMiata/AFCO and new suspension arms from V8 Roadsters (along with chassis braces for greater stiffness from FlyinMiata. Engine replaced and entire dash removed and refreshed to install an A/C system. New, better, cloth soft top with glass rear window and defrost. (Oh, and painted the windshield bow and side mirrors in black to create a sleeker silhouette). Refreshed, removable hard top. Oh, and along the way, I had a Canadian flag added to the trunk lid! Here's how it looked at the end of all that: Not to shabby for a 34 year old car, huh? So basically, you just ASSumed it was "clapped out", right? Tell me, Liarboy: Are you ever not a HUGE asshole?
