sedition88 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 This is amazing work. :thumbup: I'll have to read through the mx520 build this week Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Indy should slam my 620... I need another lawn ornament :) Quote Link to comment

He's got a lift, a level and a spare Miata! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ...and he puts things back together so they run. If they were neighbors and Indy did the pics this would be ubber cool, but then Bob would never make his finish date with Indy always pushing it out into the yard for photo shoots every step. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The Miata pan looks like it belongs there. Excellent work Bob. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 The center line is perfect! I will get the pan all welded in now and start on the firewall and inner fenders. Don't worry it will be about 4" lower when it's done. :P 1 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hrm, that is interesting. I have never had a chance to really look at a miata but they seem to have a ton of room in front of the engine looking at those pics. It that where the engine sits in the miata normally? Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for the quick reply Bob. I have wheels turning now :) Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I cut about 7" off the front of the Miata frame rails. This is held together in these pics with vice grips just for mock-up. I have 12.5" from the front of the valve cover to the back of the core support. It is going to work well. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 This is moving along pretty good, I suspect your going to have more legroom in this one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 This is moving along pretty good, I suspect your going to have more legroom in this one. No doubt! Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 That engine actually looks small in there. I was thinking it would be huge honestly, but I have never really seen a 411 up close. With all that room you could make one heck of a modified B6/BP fit. This build just keeps getting better and better. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Killer Bob! You gonna run fender flares? 1 Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Killer Bob! You gonna run fender flares? Yes, I knew that in my pre-build measuring. I found these; http://www.ebay.com/itm/111009285675?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I plan to wet sand the entire car and have it and these fenders painted with satin clear coat. What do you think? Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I love that plan. And I love ZGs on any datto! I think it will set off the patina on this wagon, especially with what is hidden under that ratty looking old J-tin! Quote Link to comment
w_datsun_a Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Amazing progress! I must say though...getting to the cam angle sensor looks like it is going to be a real bitch.... Quote Link to comment

Good thing you just "set it & forget it" ! I haven't touched the one in the MX520 since the day I installed the engine. But you are correct it is tight back there! Quote Link to comment
