Buy the whole car for the price of the hardtop, sell the low km (113,000 km) engine/trans and a bunch of the other parts in decent shape and scrap the rest.

Mazda Miata 1990 - $1000 (Grant Street)

I am selling my 1990 Mazda Miata (red), which I have owned and loved for the past 10 years. The body is in great condition. We had it professionally painted a couple of years ago when the original paint was peeling and chipped. However, the undercarriage needs significant work: there are three weld joints on the bottom of the car that have been rusted out and need to be fixed *before* the car will be able to pass her safety inspection in BC (and get insurance). We recently moved to BC and had the Miata shipped from Ontario (where it was insured). We discovered the issues with the undercarriage when the Miata failed her safety inspection here in BC. The brake line also needs to be repaired. Please refer to the attached photographs for more details on the state of the undercarriage. You will notice that the rest of the undercarriage (aside from the above mentioned) are relatively rust-free. The windshield also needs to be replaced due to a crack. Aside from these issues, the car runs great – the transmission and engine are in good working order. I have so enjoyed this car over the past decade and am hoping that someone with the know-how can get her back on the road.
