Abandoned Miata Mixte

[sgtiger]

DS left his lunch at home today so I had to take it out to him. On the way, I again spotted a mixte that's been abandoned in a drainage ditch in front of an empty lot(popular dump site). It's been there for the last month or so. After dropping off DS's lunch I had to stop to check it out. Well, it's definitely not ridable now, but I'm wondering if it may be salvageable. My only concern is that the middle stay on the drive side bends out a bit. Dh is not sure but he thinks it may be intentional so that there's clearance for the chain. Anyone here have a Miata mixte who may be able to enlighten me if it supposed to be that way?
