Brakes

• Brake pads & rotors - All rotors and pads were replaced.

Paint

• The car has never been in any major accidents to my knowledge and has a clean title. The paint was ok when I purchased it, but did have some dents (size if dimes) here and there, and the clear coats was less than perfect. I painted the entire vehicle, wet sanded the paint, and have restored the paint to a glass finish.

Interior

• Targa Top - The Targa top was originally installed by Dustin P who modified the underbody with additional reinforcement to support the removable Targa top. I have owned a Spyder and the Targa is stronger than the original Spyder. When placing my Spyder on the car lift, the body flexes enough that the doors would not open / close smoothly. The Targa with additional reinforcement does NOT flex and the doors open / close smoothly. Additional quick latches from a Mazda RX7 allow the top to be removed and added quickly. The top is from a Spyder and is solid.

• Seats & Interior - have been restored to their original condition. The seats are charcoal grey. the dash and door panels are a lighter tan / white.

• Dash Gauges - have been updated to be white with Blue / Green night light colors.
