Finally got Onibaba off the jack stands and took her for a short shakedown spin around the neighborhood. First time driving her since April of last year, and I’m pleased to report no major issues! A few things that still need adjusting, but basically everything worked like it was supposed to! Well....except I evidently missed a bolt on the seat hinge, so when I took a turn a bit aggressively it popped out of the hinge. That’s an easy fix though. So yeah, all that is left is to put the interior back together, put the top on, sort the P0106 code so I can get her inspected and registered, and then she’ll be off to the mech for corner balancing & alignment, a new clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder, braided clutch line, intake cam install and a few other bits. I’d do it myself, but to be perfectly honest, I’m sck of working on her and just want this round of stuff finished.

I think the Great Wall of China was put together faster than Tom’s 6 :D And thanks man! She still needs work, but I cannot begin to describe how good it feel to drive the silly thing after so long.

Doing better than me. The closest I have come to driving my project is when it was being towed across my front yard.

A little over a year now. Once I started tearing into it there was a lot more work. My daughter was 3 months when I got it, shes now 19 Months, and I bought a house last year. So it got back burner-ed. And my project time is helping my dad with the Lotus.

I’m honestly looking forward to the fall, cause right now it’s too damn hot to really enjoy the Miata. Good news there is that all of the work slated for this year will be done by then and I can just drive the car and enjoy it :D

It actually should be done by then (or at least in the mech’s hands), but the wife and I will be headed to Chicago the week following, so I doubt my boss would approve of me taking more vacation time so close to that.
