$900 Junkyard Miata Rescue | How Bad Is It? | Hint: It's Worse! | Episode 1

We are building a cheap junkyard Mazda Miata that we got for $900 into a track warrior. It's in rough shape but in episode 1 of this build series we take our abandoned Miata and go over (almost) everything wrong with it. We then do some maintenance to get it back and running in better condition than when we bought it. Make sure to Subscribe to come along for the journey and see where this project goes!
