September 4th

we took my car apart yesterday, and put the dash and floor carpeting back in. it took a while to get everything out.. the longest time on getting the dash out. i got dirt and grease under my nails and up my arms and my dad got sunburnt. :s
we had to cut a section out of the newer old dash to get a force fit into my car.

backing up;
we were trading out a black interior of a 95 miata with a tan interior of a 99 miata, and they changed some things with the two models and placements of things.

so force fitting came into the picture, meaning i got to use a hand saw to cut out notches in the plastic dash; my dad followed up with a file (not a nail file, a metal one) to smooth the lines.

my sister and mom undid the stitching of the new top to redo it, which we're thankful for cuz thats less money at this point to fix it. the only thing left is a patch job on a slight cut which we have to do before the rain comes tomorrow, or all is for naught.
