Piece by piece...

I had a pretty good hour and half in the garage last night and drained the coolant prior to removing the radiator with fans, the washer fluid resevoir, and some more trim pieces including some minor interior trim. Once the A/C condensor and related lines as well as the sway bar is removed the front end will only be the shell of the unibody. Areas that were once a real pain to access are now literally right out in the open!

It then struck me the work required to label and remove systems from around the engine, unbolt the transmission, and remove the motor could really go quite quickly. Pulling the dash and removing the wiring harness will likely be more involved but still not terribly difficult.

There doen't seem to be a huge amount of interest in the first batch of Miata parts I've listed on eBay through I'm accounting that to having prices marked only slightly lower than the others and giving 100% honest descriptions of the parts with decent photos. I may need to be more aggressive to clean the parts out and should drop some hints with Miata clubs that I'm stripping a 99' out. It may also help once spring draws near.
