Default 1994 Z28 "Miata Hunter"

Acquired two Z28s for $1700 when I was just looking for a T56 , the red one is a 1996 and a manual car that got loose and hit a pole and the white one is a 1994 that he aquired is auto car that I will finish into what I hope will be a Miata killer into which will end a local one's streak in autocrossing.

Good luck! You've set the bar high but not unobtainable.

Thanks, I git a friend that have been chasing him last season with his Spitfire that he has been autocrossing since the 70s and he has come so close to knocking him off but just doesn't have the power to chase in the coners.

Depends on the Miata...but speaking from experience, it can be done.

Started the long tedious progress of taking it apart.

If you have the means, it will be easier to drop the engine and transmission out the bottom of the car. Good luck!

Am but I got to get some stuff out to drop, but me and my buddy pulled his LS1 out the top of his with little finagling so it could be done I just going to drop everything through the bottom with the t56 and k-member attached to make the body swap easier.

Well this was a short lived project, the white camaro is damaged on the passenger side rocker panel and needs new hood, pass. fender, and front bumper.
So I am going to see the white body later and the red car is going to get cut up to help the 1978 Chevy Nova out of a slump.

Perhaps you could combine the two cars, and make one good one? Doesn't have to be perfect if your just trying to build a track car. From the picture, the red one doesn't look too bad...

That was the plan but the white car is going to need as much work as my Nova and the red car has structure damage, so my new plan is to pull everything off the red camaro and dump everything into the Nova.
