Pictures say a thousand words, when I collected the car it looked like this:
  I brought it home:  Gave it a clean   And that is how it currently stands |

A set of good lowering springs and struts go quite a ways. Polyurethane bushings where ever you can replace old rubber ones. From the looks of it the car has been sitting and it'll probably need some new bushings and struts anyhow. Eh, might consider redoing the exhaust. Aside from that do your basic tuneup things like wires, plugs, air filter, etc...
Also get some ceramic pads and replace all fluids with synthetics. Just make sure everything works as it should. This post has been edited by Box: Jun 26, 2013 - 2:24 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
