I picked up a 91 1.6 Eunos Roadster a year ago for 1k, came with a hardtop, watanabe wheels and loads of cool JDM goodies, best of all it had zero rust. There is some good deals out there you just need to know where to look, love what you've done to the car btw!
Make sure when you pressure wash your engine bay you unplug the battery and put plastic bags or ziplock bags over the electric connectors! I’ve learned the hard way
I can relate! Picked up a 97 1.8L Eunos import here in Ireland at the end of 2023 pretty cheap (€3.8k, which is cheap given the condition). The car was in a decent state as far as the outside body and interior, with only a few minor changes and upgrades. The underside however was ABSOLUTELY rusted beyond belief EVERYWHERE and pieces were pretty much falling apart (all 4 wheel suspension, AC rad and lots more) sills rotting away, etc. But at least the softtop and exhaust had been replaced within the last 2 years so they were perfect. Fast forward 7 months and it's been fully restored and near perfect, just waiting on minor fixes to be completed, like alloy wheel restoration, leather seat restoration, stereo and speaker replacement and that's pretty much everything. Just in time for the 2 weeks of summer we get in Ireland!
@@Constable.Chauvin There was a LOT more than just the rust repair, but between all the new parts, rust welding, etc to get it up to road legal again cost another €6600.

Thanks for the tips!
Sweet video! Does anyone else wish Mazda would bring back their old emblem? It looks so much cooler than the funky "M"
Thank you! I agree that the old emblem looks cooler
Awesome find, congratulations! Thanks for making the video and showing us how to take care of these little machines.
It was super satisfying to make! Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
@DmDetails yeah I bet. Just goes to show a little effort really makes these miatas look great
Hey for pressure washing the engine pre spraying it with simple green is almost as good and way better for the bird and bees and all that.
Thanks for the tips! Typically I use Super Clean degreaser
insane video again! btw are you selling the miata 👀
Thanks for keeping up w the vids!! It’s not

you're lucky, here in romania prices start at 4000$+ (for a NA).
How much did the rust repair cost you?

@@RetroQGaming thanks for the reply man, I'll make sure to get a good one
Great job on the Yata!
Thank you!
Fix my Miata 🥺
I wish I could fix every miata out there
U are better then the British wheeler dealers bro, your far more relatable too
Nice work man
at least your dipstick handle is still attached lol, but nice video!
Those suckers always break haha
I'd love to try to rescue a Miata like this. Any advice on how to find a first one? What to look for, etc?
They’re hard to find! Checkout donut media’s video about miata’s to get familiar with them. Good luck
