Mazda Miata Build

The Mazda Miata Build project represents a comprehensive restoration and performance enhancement of a classic sports car. This hands-on project demonstrates the practical application of mechanical engineering principles, manufacturing processes, and automotive systems knowledge.

The build involved complete disassembly, assessment, and rebuilding of major vehicle systems. Custom fabrication work was performed using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding for aluminum and steel components, requiring precision and attention to detail. Mechanical modifications were designed and implemented to improve performance while maintaining reliability and safety.

Key aspects of the project included suspension geometry optimization, drivetrain upgrades, and custom exhaust fabrication. Each modification was carefully planned using engineering calculations and CAD modeling before implementation. The project showcases the ability to work with real-world constraints, integrate multiple systems, and apply theoretical knowledge to practical automotive engineering challenges.

This build demonstrates proficiency in metalworking, welding, mechanical assembly, and system integration - skills directly applicable to manufacturing and product development in various industries.
