A good story that it well written becomes a great story. Very entertaining, Speedo, thanks for sharing. Now, pictures!

As this was not a restoration thread...I didn't bother taking pics when I got the chassis, but here are a few.
Again...stuff I took off that was heinous.
Note how dark the rear glass was. You couldn't see through it. Was this "cool" at some point?
This was amazingly hard to remove. NASA should use this stuff for the exterior tiles on the space shuttles.

It continues...nasty bumperettes and replacement lid. Amco bumper bar gone.

Dry car from CA, and the only rust that was obvious was driver side battery box (that wasn't that bad) but I replaced it anyways. New Miata Deltek battery engineered into the new box and the refurbished gas tank and sender. Do you think the front torsion bars need to be indexed...hmmm.

And after TB indexing, brake bleed, and general sorting. Squint and visualize light yellow. She starts right up, and anxious to head down the road. I'll put a few "Italian tuneup" miles on her and then tweek the MFI. Very happy little car. And I am lucky to be the owner. Like a lost dog returned home after a few year hiatus.
I am pretty sure that deep down...this is what this forum is all about.

[QUOTE=speedo;1033273]As this is the ESR, and we periodically get "sidetracked" with stuff that is not about the cars we are passionate about...I thought I would try to provide a pleasant distraction to some of our daily politics.
Thanks m'friend...for a great thread.

Its a wicked poster of my favorite Porsche...we all can dream, right?
Local PCA buddy Walt helped me re-bleed the brakes. I now have some resistance on the pedal...nice to not have to rely on the e-brake to slow down. Taking slightly longer trips from the homestead. Flat spot up to 2k is getting better. Maybe the MFI pump was "gunked up" from sitting for so many years. Realized I have no interior rear view mirror! Of course...I should have know, it was in the glovebox, where all rear view mirrors go for vacation. The 915 feels great 1st - 4th. If it is warm tomorrow, the top comes off...for a short time at least. We are supposed to get snow on Thursday.
And no...the picture of the attorney in the previous post is not me...I have more hair. I'd also rather wear carharts than a suit...just say'in.
