build diary

January 11, 2006: A friend pointed out that there's a CMC car like mine on eBay.
I had a brief email exchange with the owner about diff mount design last summer but that's all I know. It'll be interesting to see if this car fetches more than it would cost to build. It's fun to look at the pictures - looks as if his fender stays were always crooked like my original ones were. There's a lot of static camber in the front wheels which implies he discovered some of the difficulties with the suspension although there's not much roll in the pictures online. I have an idea of what the final price will be, let's see how close I am.

On a similar note, there's a new CMC Miata kit that's still for sale. Rod Lingren has been trying to move this one for a while and is now asking $4000 for it. He can be reached at 619 787 2412. It's the basic kit - frame, suspension, aluminum panels, 'glass body panels (no hood) and the MSO documentation from CMC. Some modification will be required to the diff mount!
