That body looks real nice and Arizona is unbelievably friendly to old
steel car bodies, rust-wise. And Miatas are apparently pretty easy to
piece together. Looks like fun; wish I could play.

Hey did you see the '84 Miata in Mesa?

It's the same price, only $1500, but it dosesn't run; needs timing
chain.

What a great price for one of the extra-rare '84 models! You never see
any of those still on the street.

Yes, I did. I thought of posting it here but I didn't because I didn't
want you guys beating me to it! <snicker!>

I think parts are hard to get, I called the dealer and asked about a
timing chain for an '85 Miata, it was hard to hear over the laughter
but I think they said they didn't have any? <GD&R>

That's because replacement timing chains are nearly impossible to find
anymore.
