Earlier I shared a glimpse of my friend Greg's car and I promised to do a feature one day soon. The time has come. I share with you Greg's magnificent NA6C Mazda MX-5 Roadster.

Greg's car is unique as it started life as a left hand drive European-spec car that was imported to the Philippines where he lives. During his first few years of ownership, Greg tricked out his ride with a Mazdaspeed (Eaton M45) supercharger, Mazdaspeed seats, steering wheel, shift knob, etc.

But then, in September 2009, his beloved Roadster was tragically flooded during Typhoon Ketsana. While many enthusiasts would scrap a flood car, Greg decided to rebuild his car even better than before. The car was entirely disassembled and meticulously restored piece by piece. Greg used this opportunity to add some very rare tuning parts.

Here are the results.





































































































Words just cannot do this car justice. I can't even being to describe all the hard work that went into restoring this car to its current glory. Pay close attention to all the details and you begin to see how this car is truly a labor of love. Greg has finally attained his vision of the perfect Roadster and he deserves a round of applause.
