I'm about to catch up you out!

I'm still working on stripping the Miata. Oh, and I got a '67 VW Type 3 Squareback to use instead of the Super Beetle. If I used the Beetle, there would have been problems with interior fitment, like there wasn't enough lateral room for the seats and the very wide miata transmission tunnel, so the seats would have to be extremely narrow and pushed inward a few inches, therefor the steering wheel and seats wouldn't have lined up.

I started a youtube channel to document the whole build: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVB...4pRUpNI3xoe3-g
