Larry,
I've not seen it but it could be done, sure, but in my
"bidness" we worry about heat leak, heat leak, and
heat leak. Maybe with a hardtop you'd be ok, but
likely you'd be fighting heat leak through poor seals.
Shit, used Miatas are around $4500 for early ones,
prob'ly easier to just get one of those. STAY AWAY
FROM 90 OR 91 WHITE CARS! The paint is defective and
comes off in square-yard chunks.
