To fund the purchase and restoration of a wrecked Mazda MX-5
Description
Hi there! 🔧
I am a Computer Science student on a mission: I want to save a wrecked Mazda Miata (NB) that I found for ~€1000.
The Patient: The car is in critical condition (frontal crash) and is one step away from the scrapyard. Most people see a pile of junk, but I see a perfect project car. My dream is to buy it, restore it myself, and document the entire process.
The Roadmap:
Phase 1: Acquisition 🛑 (Current Step) - Raising funds to buy the car before it gets scrapped.
Phase 2: The Teardown 🛠️ - Assessing the frame damage and removing broken parts.
Phase 3: The Rebuild ⚙️ - Fixing the structure, sourcing cheap parts.
Phase 4: Community Mods 🗳️ - You will vote on the paint job, wheels, and style!
Where does the money go? Since I am a student, my budget is tight. Every contribution here goes directly into the "Car Fund":
Replacement parts (hood, bumper, radiator)
Tools & Fluids
Join the Crew: If you want to help save this wreck and watch an IT guy get his hands dirty learning mechanics, you can support me here.
Thank you for being part of the team! 🚗💨
