If I part it out I may keep the engine to rebuild as a spare for my other Miata.
Funny you mention the lift kit, because I considered that and using it as my ski rig for this season. It'd be ridiculous.
Then there are the Lotus-7 kits based on Miata bits........ but with how much it rains here and garage space at a premium maybe not.
Too many options!
Hard top is going to be wrapped or spray bombed and put on my BRG. Once that's done and the BRG gets a few other things fixed up, it's getting repainted and a collector plate application.

What is the condition of the car that came with the hardtop?  I know the mileage was high and it was supposed to be in rough condition, but what are your initial impressions?

Flyin' Miata were the dealer for that in the US but I can't find it on their website any more. I don't know if it's possible to get one of those legal in Canada either.

It'll be easier if they can get the oop inspection done before purchasing if its still insured.
If you were to buy it, you can't insure it until its passed oop inspection- They will let you buy a one day insurance so you can drive to the inspection spot.

On the same topic... I dream of flying to the east coast, buying a car out there, then driving it back. Would it be a pain in the ass getting it plated and insured over there to drive back here?

So much fun! I got to drive one at autox a few years ago which was great. I'd love one of those but I don't have anywhere to store a 2nd car right now. Maybe one day although I imagine prices are just going to keep going up and by the time I can afford one I still can't afford one.
Getting a car shipped over there is a good idea.

Never thought I’d see Patrick sell his evo. That car is fucking incredible. Like some sort of super wolf with a machine gun in wolfs clothing.

|  Thanks guys, great to see the car make it in this thread and yea, I never thought I'd be selling it too...big part of me hopes no one will buy it. Mature part of me says stop being a man child and move on. We'll see what happens...I bet I will regret it but I have to put the wife before the wif3y otherwise my ass might end up like George Soros...but way way poorer.  | |

No new toy. I daily a stock 2017 golf R, had it over a year now so if the evo sells I’ll likely modify it over time...not buying anything else right now.

I've looked at them now and then but haven't driven one yet. Currently driving a Focus ST and I like the idea of AWD and a little more power.
