Thanks, Ronnie, 2 seater and Ron Walker.
Yes, in spite of it's problems, I think I'll be able to make it road worthy again, it's just going to take work, a few more dollars for parts and I'll gain knowledge at the same time. I bought this car knowing it needed repairs and that the mileage was on the high side but it was the best example I could afford and I was eager to learn about it and make it mine. I love everything about the Reatta because there are so many advantages. Being 6'3", I could never fit into a Miata or MG. Besides, they're underpowered and parts are expensive and a Vette is such a cliche. I've always wanted a 2 seater, just for myself and I'm sure you'll agree the Reatta is the perfect choice.
Since it's black, once I get it on the road, I'll name it Raven and my vanity plate will read NVRMORE.😏
