    That looks like a headache due to the auto transmission.

    I wonder if the rust cost extra on the roll bar.

    Wow, why did he mount the engine so far towards the back? Also why would you want to install a mustang suspension? Plus that engine frame looks like a horrible idea. Ill pay two fitty then sell the bumpers and the car for scrap to make a profit.

    Actually, wouldn't a Mustang II suspension be an over-glorified Ford Pinto suspension? Looks to me like he pieced a body on a frame that he made. I wouldn't want it, but maybe Bean would since it's alrady

    I might not know that much about Miata's, but that looks like a mess. When I saw the intrior, I thought, "Where do I put my feet? I don't wanna drive side saddle." As for the engine frame, I don't think a hood will close on that, not to mension that one side is kinda triangulated, while the other is not. WTF?

    Furthermore, what's up with the universal fit ebay rotors?

    Notice the slots for the wheel studs.

    For a final thought, I didn't know a car could come in that many colors and still have rust on it. I'm impressed. :-P

    Yes, the Mustang II and Pinto front suspension is pretty much the same. I suspect the guy is from the street-rod world, where the Mustang II style front end is the standard. There are at least a dozen new kits out there like this one that are based off of the Mustang II design. My father-in-law's '41 Ford street rod has a Mustang II front end.
