Sigh... You know I suck at build threads.

The photo hosting thing really annoys me.

I'll try.

Not really, but everything is for sale at the right price.

Want to make me an offer I can't refuse??

If the franken fiat sells I'll be contacting you. Do you know what it would take to put a soft top on it? Are the brackets/latches etc still there?

No. It would take an entire roof frame, including the latches.

Hmmmm-some creative trading and maybe we can get the frankenfiat challenge eligible.

I'm all ears. I think the way I have it in my add should make it eligible

You and SVReX will have to figure out if the desire and details are reasonable, I just get to put silly ideas in people's heads and enjoy the outcome.

If happily swap the frankenfiat for the miata, and would entertain any suggestions to make the swap work

What would it take to secure a hard top ?

Tops are easy to mount/unmount. Just need the appropriate hardware.

In reply to icaneat50eggs:

Are you looking for a street car that the wife will drive?

This car is not quite as streetable as others have said.

I guess that's kind of a silly comment to a guy who has driven the FrankenFiat on the streets.

Is Mrs. Eggeater a racer, street driver, or passenger only?

I have a complete softtop with frame/latches. It came out of my '90 Miata, but has a glass rear window. Shoot my an offer if you are interested.

She is a shake her head in confusion every time she walks by the frankenfiat type.

She's ridden in my dads stock s2000, and sees absolutely no attraction in riding in anything "sporty"

I like the "you drove here in what?!?" Type cars

What all makes it less street able? I get the no top, etc. does it overheat? Still running rich? Other reliability issues? Or just a lack of creature comforts?

Lack of creature comforts, and a good deal of sorting issues from it sitting for an extended period.

Is it pretty much in the same shape as mrjoshuas sale thread? Any changes since then?
