Saab 96/Miata build

That looks close to the color of my 99 in those pictures, hard to tell though, it looks different in every picture

Great work all around.

Poor photography skills on my part with a phone. It's the standard Mustang Grabber Blue on the new generation cars.

[Jordan]

Yeah, mine isn't THAT blue, but still looks great!

This thing is wicked bad-ass!

Love it!

[DrewP]

That looks awesome, very nicely done.

Sorry no updates lately. I hit a snag when the tires hit my freshly finished and painted fenders. I got discouraged and walked away from it for a while.

Finally got back to it.







Hood is on and it clears the turbo and charge pipes. Back on the ground for the first time in a year. Don't mind the panel gaps. The front fenders are just zip-tied on until I finish the front light wiring.







Working on wiring up the lights now. I bought rear tail lights and backup lights from Sweden's version of E-bay and a Miata guy in Sweden boxed them up and shipped them to me.

I'm still lacking one amber front turn signal lens.

Does anyone know where these rubber bumpers go? I had them bagged and tagged as "Hood-center front" but I can't find a place for them to go.

I see you already solved the tire clearance probem...but many years ago I got to drive a modded 96 on the track. That car was running wider tires and my recollection is that the owner had simply spaced the rear fenders out from the body to clear. Your solution looks nicer though.

They look like rubber bump stops but not sure.

The car turned out awesome!

Those look like rear suspension bump stops to me...
