I’ve been shopping these and 2023+ GTIs. Something like this is really tempting but I already have 2 projects that have just emptied every pocket and while Miata is always the answer, my questions have balooned it’s cost to an embarrassing amount invested. Would something like this turn into just another broken project money pit?
I’ve wondered the exact same thing…can you buy this and fix it so I can buy it from you after it’s sorted? Asking for a friend.
