    Finally getting her on the road.

    '88 325 S ETA

    Finally putting her into DD duty after hanging onto this car since '06. Bought it off of craigslist back then for $300 with a bad automatragic and a wrinkled left front fender. What I have done so far:

    Auto-Manual swap
    new clutch
    new guibo
    new CSB
    New muffler
    TB and WP
    front and rear main seal
    oil pan gasket
    valve adjustment
    radiator
    yellow laminex
    dyed carpet black
    repainted all interior pieces black
    miata seats (in progress)
    bumper tuck
    all exterier trim repainted
    painted bottlecaps gunmetal (tires are almost brand new, so she will ride for now)

    To Do:

    finish seat install
    buy rear leather bench seat, black
    lower it with sport springs (its a DD, what can I say)
    put some 15's on it eventually
    front "i" or "iS" lip
    install muffler
    tint windows
    respray lower beltline black

    Long Term To Do:

    get a respray, maybe even Maaco special with me performing prep work

          I am running on so little sleep I was wondering why it has a late model valance and DB for a good 30 seconds....then I was like, "Oh wait, my car has a late model valance and came with DB lol, durrr."
