1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the last year with hidden flipping headlights

I bought this Miata 2 years ago as a project for me and my daughter so she could learn some about cars and learn how to drive a stick. And I ended up putting an easy $4. 00+ in improvements into it. I have receipts for everything. Things did not go as planned and my daughter is leaving to live elsewhere having never learned to drive a stick. The car is from Florida and is totally rust free. The pictures at the link mentioned below show shots inside the rockers. Just original factory paint in there. Not a spot of rust. It had a few floor dings which I straightened and then installed FM chassis braces. All of the undertrays and air guides are brand new. The paint is not great but there is no damage to the body panels and it's pretty straight. The drivetrain is in great shape end to end. Runs strong and shifts beautifully (shifter turret is totally rebuilt). Sounds awesome with the Flyin' Miata polished stainless steel exhaust. All new stainless from the headers to the muffler tip including the muffler and catalytic converter. It handles very well with all new brakes. new FM adjustable sway bars and adjustable end links. It needs front shocks. That's about the last thing to do. I did not get to that as when my kid decided to go there was no point in going further. There's little things left to do like always but all the major stuff except the front shocks is done. There's a box of spare and original parts that goes with it. Some new stuff like a new bra and a new radiator protector grill I never put on are included. The list below has all the parts with Mazda part numbers that went into the car. If I can think of anything I forgot I'll add it later. I was surprised to see when I made the ad that Autocheck came up with a title discrepancy. It says odometer issue. So I have added two pictures. One of the Florida title showing 121. 00 miles when I bought it. And one showing 121. 00 when I titled it. I lived in Hackettstown. NJ then and had it trucked to NJ from Florida. I did not register it to get the plates until over a year later when I had moved to Hillsborough. NJ. The NJ title picture shows 121. 00 but it says N for not actual mileage. But it was the actual mileage when I titled it. The mileage now is 122. 44. That's all it has been driven in the time I spent rebuilding it. I guess I did not catch the mistake when it was made at the DMV but this is a clear title. The only thing I deleted from the NJ title picture was my drivers license number.
