New Project Car!! Ep.1 $200 Mazda Miata!!

[@DavidoverSea]

I used to have a mariner blue 1990 Miata that I also saved. I absolutely loved that car. Drove it all over California and one day a truck rear ended me… and after that it smelt like gas inside while driving. Insurance totaled it and to this day I miss that thing and will definitely buy one more someday.

[@deadpedalgarage6457]

Nice! I did the same thing a couple years ago, I got mine (a 96) for $100. Then spent about $2,000 to make it nice again. I actually have a spare 1.8 engine laying around I'd love to donate to you to keep some cost down. (And probably some more bits you might need taking up space in my garage)

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That would be amazing. Let me know how we can make that happen!

[@NORTHSIDESHORTY59]

How did u find a Miata for that much ?

[@deadpedalgarage6457]

@@NORTHSIDESHORTY59 Back when I worked at a parts store a customer came in and was telling one of my co-worker's that he was wanting to get rid of an old parts car he had. It was a 96 miata he didn't think was worth fixing and offered to sell it cheap because my co-worker drove a miata. That co-worker told the guy he wouldn't have space and that I had a miata as well. He said he'd sell it to me for $200 and when I went to buy it he couldn't meet me when we agreed, but since I had already showed up he would drop the price to $100 to get it the next day. I have some videos of it on my channel if you wanted to see what it looked like to make it that cheap.

[@scottmason2245]

Even when it comes to relationships.... MIATA IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER. hope you good something good with it. I have a 1990 and its the most thing I've ever driven and I've driven a lot at 49 years of age.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Miata IS always the answer and I love these cars too. I put 100k on one back in the early 2000's and can't wait to get back behind the wheel of this one!!

[@zackinblack]

I bought a 1999 mustang v6. Yeah it's not the prettiest but honestly I love going into the garage and finding something to work on, set a goal and get it done, shes looking better every time I work on her. #goals

Nice! Once you get it fixed up, you can get a proper car!! JK! Good luck with the build!

Yes! Thank you for the suggestion! I should have given you credit! We are really looking forward to it!

[@johnathancrumm]

Extreme Daily Drivers i was fine if no credit was given. But when I watched the Miata find video a day after you posted it, and heard you saying about a guy suggesting a couples build, I had a feeling I knew. Very welcome bud! I’m super excited to see you two have fun.

[@sneakersonfeet9045]

Wow you are AMBITIOUS! That looks like allot of work but I’m sure you will make it awesome! Can’t wait to watch the transformation!

Long time subscriber, first time commenter. I don’t know anything about anything when it comes to car repair...but I’m here for it! I told Kelly about the Miata that I leased in 1993. Impractical? Absolutely. But it was so much fun to drive! I’m excited to follow along. #teamkelly #miatamonday

One day when it's done, we'll get together for a ride!

There is nothing impractical about a Miata. You just need to stop playing golf, snowboarding and packing so many suitcases!! The Miata is the closest thing to riding a motorcycle that you can get. Incredible machines. We can't wait to put the top down and drive across country to visit you!

[@stantheman5163]

Wow, I have watched a couple of the later episodes as I inherited a cream puff '94 from my mother-in-law with 65k miles the same Blue color as this one. Then this episode showed up and I cannot believe how much work you guys put into this thing. I am going to have to watch the entire build now. I've just improved the suspension on mine with a FM Koni 2.5 package and frame rails and upgraded the interior with new console, stereo and Stack gauges. Other than some assorted doodads it's bone stock. I like your rollbars....hmmmmm.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I had that same suspension on my first Miata. In my opinion, it was too harsh, but it did handle great. We still have a lot of suspension work to do, but we will take our time with that. Thanks for watching and good luck with your NA!

[@stantheman5163]

Dang Brandon two hunnit dollars, most people spent more than that just hoarding toilet paper! This is sick bro and cool to work with the misses. Last time my girl helped me on a build was on my 89 Accord SEi re doing all the interior and that was a while ago. I'm stoked to see where you take the build. I like the blue, I see a bunch of red's around but haven't seen a blue one in a while. Congrats to you guys, keep us posted bro!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks JC! We are hyped on the build. I can't wait to dig and start making moves with this chassis. There is so much to do!! But the Miata is in such better shape then the Prelude. It should be so much easier especially with the HUGE aftermarket Miatas have. I'm so ready to something a little easier.

From someone who has done it. You are going to be $15,000 into a $8,000 miata. But you get to save a classic and make it exactly how you want it.

Are project cars worth the money? If so what should I put in it and should I start one

It's not about the final product, it's about the journey and knowing that you saved something that was forgotten about and abused. Is it worth the money, in my opinion, yes. You can't put a price on memories and experience.

I've seen a ton of LS swapped Miatas, but never a 4.6L Mustang V8 mod motor swapped one. Putting it back to its former glory is gonna be interesting after that blasphemy lol.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Tell me about it. I can't wait. There is a company called Monster Miata and they have been selling V8 swap kits for years. Their kit works with the 5.0 Mustang engine if I remember correctly. However, none of that crap belongs in a Miata. Thanks for watching.

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Indeed! The only engine swaps that work for Miatas IMO are Honda K series or Mazda rotary engines (my favorite one, lol). I think I've seen someone do a Nissan SR20 swap in one too.

Agreed. I would consider a Kswap if the kit wasn't close to $4k.

[@tedstriker754]

It's getting harder to find an unmolested NA Miata. Unfortunately they got targeted by kids, who bought them up cheap, molest the crap of them with engine swaps, junk body parts, gutted interiors, and then in a short time, they all show up parted out. The Miata has the most value and usability when put back to factory stock condition. And that's what most buyers want. If you find one like that, they're expensive.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I agree, however those "kids" also helped bring the car to where it is today. Their support helped continue the aftermarket and kept the old roadster relevant.

[@HTE_X]

What year is the Miata you bought?

[@toyotabrony]

Extreme Daily Drivers u really hate American V8 swaps on Japanese cars? I think I find it pretty cool. And sometimes they got me annoyed by me sayin why not a Japanese V8 like the Lexus 4.0L 1UZ,2UZ V8? Or maybe tundra’s 5.7L V8? I mean would that be better??? Since it’s Japan made.
