Another P1800 build - All NB Miata from radiator to rear axle

Headed South again, but this time with Indy-kid #3

Hit up the exact same Jack's for amazing breakfast biscuits:

Safe trip!

Did not receive any bites from the 1800list group.  But if you can get the body/chassis numbers from the two parts cars, that may help the community a bit.

My only comment is if the nose sheet metal of the blue car doesn't look too rusty (assuming the car will likely go to scrap and you have room), it may be worth cutting off and saving.  It's a common rust area on 1800s and while there are patch panels available to rebuild the headlight area, there are 4 of them (not including the inside shroud metal) at around $400 ea, so a solid nose piece is worth a few bucks.   The nose metal I bought for my car was $350 from a vendor at Carlisle some years ago. 

In reply to Ian F (Forum Supporter) :

Thanks for the tip on the nose sheet metal.  There are plans in the works to keep most of it from going to the scrap yard. 

We packed the Town and Country to the gills with goodies.

Grabbed all the relevant bits for the P1800 and the Left over Miata parts for recoup $$.  Then hit the road heading North again:

Buckees again. Then a pit stop in Kentucky:

 And here's another team shot with the next generation joining in: (definitely a Father-Son effort here)

Home safely now.  It's amazing how exhausting just sitting around driving for 16 hours can be.  Gonna sleep well tonight 

$50 recoup.  Sold the Driver's side Miata Door.

Please message me- I have a p1800 and could use some parts.

Thank you

Also, we have a new teammate, but I'll let Gariation chime in on that.

Come check it out in person this Saturday for a Build Party Get Together <==== Click Link

So glad to see this come to the top. 

Are you shooting for the next Challenge or is it a longer term project?

In reply to NOHOME :

We are trying to get it to this year's Challenge.  It's an aggressive time frame, for sure.  Then refine it after that.

We got a lot accomplished yesterday.  As we arrived, (note there are 4 Volvos in this picture):

Then we just got after it: reassembling/ test fitting everything:

Here's a partial list of items we got done 

• Struts installed & tightened properly 
• Brakes verified right
• Parking brake cables and handle reinstalled 
• Fuel and brake lines run under car
• Seats and pedal assemblies in
• Proper engine mounts installed 
• Couple wiring harnesses installed.

Awesome!

Same but different
