Fiata? Do tell. Where is the build thread. The 124 would fall right on a Miata wheelbase.

Yes, please do.

And, this place is full of Kool-Aide pushers. And willing addicts. Let's face it, we all love the Kool-Aide.

From the looks of his GRM garage, I'm guessing it has to do with using Miata pieces parts on a Fiat Spyder. I approve.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner.

Build thread will be coming. I just have to learn how and get room for both the fiat and the miata in the yard at the same time!

I can give you some tips if you would like. First you build a great big sex-swing.....

And then you stack them on top of each other

I love that when someone asks how to store a fiat and a miata in one stall without a lift, not only has someone else done it, there's pictures.

Going for the entire Miata chassis or just the front and rear suspension?

Not sure yet.

Logic side says as much connective material I can keep in use between the sub frames is good..

Reality is a v6 is going to do damage and I should build around that..

I'm going to discuss with the co captain this weekend so please feel free to comment on "what would GRM do"!

Current thought is join the miata to the fiat at the maid weld of the flor pan and will box. Leave the Miata firewall and front frame horns as intact as possible while fitting the V6 and cut off the outer rear quarters and Attach the fiat panels I am hoping the joint can be pretty seamless, but I need to put car A next to car B

I hate spellcheck

Join at the Miata floor pan and the fiat door sill box
