I hope you were able to finish up.
I switched the welder over to flux core and got the brackets I needed fabbed up.

I now officially fit in the Miata:



I can even heel-toe, and I think if I slouch a little I pass the broomstick test with the rollbar. Though I do need to put some padding on the bar since in a rear-ender, I'll hit my helmet on it. I also need to fab up a harness bar, swap a set of the 6-points from the WRX into the car, and add a seatback brace to the seat... but at least now I can drive it for more than 10 minutes before my ass starts to hurt due to the zero padding and narrow ass on my stock seat.

Sorry for the crap picture... iPhone's are phones, not cameras, apparently.

Oh, on a side note, does anyone know how to clean a suede steering wheel?
