    Good job on the Miata especially being its age.

    Absolutely awesome, one of the most inspiring details I've seen. Making a 13 year old car look that good takes some serious effort. Congrats and enjoy your shiny ride.

  13. I wasn't aware we could advertise are business in this manner :shead:

    He wasn't advertising his business. Hansen is his name, hence the thread title.

    Plus this was a car he got for himself, and showcased the work he did on it.

    Not trying to be rude, just replying to your post.

    It's one thing to see a newer car brought back but it's quite another when it's that old. Fantastic job!!
