Welcome back to the fourth installment of our 1995 M-Edition build! In this update we've got to work on the drivetrain from the donor car, replacing and upgrading suspension and braking components. First things first, we needed to replace the broken aluminum differential housing from the 2000 Miata donor car. These differential housings are designed to break on a rear end collision (and they often do), so we had to take care of that first. While things in the rear were taken apart we also i …

This step was critical because it means that the car can now be legally registered to drive on public roads, in any state in the U.S. The reason why we chose to do this step before completing any more work on the car is because we didn't want any issues to pop up …

Introducing our 1995 Miata M-Edition RestoMod / Rebuild project! Our starting point for this build is a 95 M-Edition that has been branded with a "flood-salvage" title. Buying a flood damage car sight unseen from an insurance auction is always a risky proposition, but we got lucky in this case with this car appearing to have only gotten about an inch of water on the inside.
