More money, it always takes more money

Okay, list of upgrades (wish list?):
  • New steering wheel (stock one falling apart)
  • New carpet (stock carpet worn)
  • Fender flares (allows for wider then stock rims
  • New rims tires, 15X10 (0 offset) rear, 15X8 up front (it's riding on old Scion rims with hubcaps, this is a no-go)
  • New gauge hood (stock one is dry rotted)
  • CF spoiler (just because)
  • Moss Motors low profile headlight kit (air brakes must go)
  • Roll bar (Hard Dog, Autopower?), harness bar (safety)
  • Seats (stock seats worn)
  • Suspension (mentioned in previous post)
  • Stereo/I.C.E. (head unit missing, all remaining stock parts need to be junked, complete A/V system installed)
  • Turbo System (probably a Flyin' Miata kit after the 1.8 swap)
  • Paint (I've picked colors, should be interesting)
Okay, added in with the previous post this is a complete rebuild of the car. The only moving part I haven't decided to replace yet is the rear end.

The car came with a a rare combination of packages, one of them included a LSD rear end. It seems to be in good shape so, for now, I'm planning on using it. If it turns out to be weak, I'll get it rebuilt or replaced.

So, if I manage to get through both lists the car should be a blast.

Looks like the only things left is parts sourcing and, well, putting them on.
