A great weekend of progress :)

I had a pretty good run going on Friday and made some decent progress pulling off the other fender, the doors, most of the carpet, the wiper blades and much of the surrounding trim,and the nearly all of the exhaust before running out of kerosene for the heater on Saturday morning. The big surprise was pulling back the carpeting under the driver's seat and finding $1.45 worth of change which Stephen quickly scooped up: it pays to help dad on a project!

Stephanie is half joking about the Miata disappearing from the garage and reappearing in the basement. She might be half joking, but she's mostly right!

Here's a couple pictures of the basement which used to be quite clean and is now loaded with items being stored for winter, Miata parts, tools for building the Locost, and boxes for packing and shipping Miata parts to good homes. It's going to get a lot more crowded before it gets better... but at least this is only about 1/3rd of my basement.

The kerosene heater is loaded up again and ready for some more
