I owned a vw golf mk2, it was originally a 1.6 NA diesel bought dead which I towed home for broken cd70 money
Later on I spent close to a whole running khyber limited cost to build it up to gtd spec and paint it in vw tornado red.
It was quite interesting to drive, but impossible to own for an average owner who is not a full mechanic for the car.
All the miatas were broken and chopped up in shershah, a lot of them were red, scrappies called them muzdaa matka
For quite some time mazda t3500 bus body makers used miata tail lights, its driver seat in their buses.
They were broken and chopped because of the car being very very small inside and very unsafe to own, anyone with a cheap treet blade could steal stuff from it.
