Hello, my nickname is Sonix I am new to this forum. I live in central Minnesota. I am 61 years old, have been turning wrench since about 1973. Since about 1968 if bicycles count. I like older vehicles because they are easier to work on and getting harder and harder to find. (I have a 1992 GEO 3 cyl 5 speed metro convert 2 seat. It is in 95-98 percent perfect condition, yellow with black top and bra)(my road bug). I am a grandpa who is along with my wife since August 5 1989 are raising our teenage granddaughter. I love life and the Lord but not in that order. I was one of uncle sam's misguided children 74-77. Thankfully the Lord did not have me leave the country. The way to immortality is to teach anything you can to anyone at anytime. Because sure as shootin some of it will be passed on, you may not be remembered by name but your teaching will remembered and maybe passed on. So, in a 19mm lug nut shell, this is me. Hello everyone---live long and prosper--- Sonix

 

Sonix, Welcome to the forum. You do know that Mazda makes a heck of a convertible. I would bet that a first generation Miata would be right up your alley. I also would bet the granddaughter would appreciate a 323 or 626 lovingly restored!
