I just picked up a '94 B&T at an auction this weekend. I've never owned an import before, so I'm a little out of my element. (I'm a Chevy 350 girl... 2 Trans Ams and a Tahoe.) The miata's for the 30 miles each way to work. I have a few questions...
1.) It has some nice 16" rims on it but they're wrapped in 205/55/16s. They hit the fenders if they hit a bump while turning. What can I put on the 16s that will work right? The rims are MB motoring 5 stars. (Anyone have a contact for MB? I need a center cap too.)2.) This car's got 113K on it, is there anything I should look out for? It had bosch +2s and Borg Warner wires on it, I'm hoping the previous owner took care of the engine at least.
3.) Where can I find the paint/dye to match the interior plastic? (don't say pep boys, they don't have it.) I live in the middle of nowhere, Texas and I'll need someone online to order it from.4.) Other than Ebay and miata.net, any good used parts sites/bulletin boards/info places? The interior is trashed on this car. Having said that, is there anyone out there that could send me pictures of what a B&Ts interior is supposed to look like and how all the carpet fits together on that deck under the top? There are 2 pieces of carpet with holes and some cardboard, I'm thinkin' plastic snaps in those holes?
I really appreciate any info ya'll can help me out with. I think it's a pretty neat little car and I plan on fixing it up. We have convertible weather 364 days a year down here and I can't wait to get it tagged and inspected. I plan on cross posting this on miata.net as well.
Thanks again. Tank.
