Looks good i've always wanted a r5 turbo but they are getting overpriced at my country, a solid one (not clean) costs around 7-10k so had to settle with a r19 cabrio
Love the car keep it up

Never said anything is wrong with it (except engine issues since I have it) but the previous owner was an idiot made a full body repair and ignored the engine issues now I'm biting the sand sandwiches one after another because of it :/
But the car is so lovable I cant be mad at it paid 1k for it and invested a solid 5k and still not satisfied with it (would totally burn the previous owners miata as revenge)
Hope you will have as much issue free as possible and of course as much fun as possible with it
