Went to school early today and made my new door panels and seat rails. Door panels still need a little fine tuning then sanded. Seat rails will need to be mounted then determin where the seat will mount on them.

After doing the brakes and a tune up on the rx8 I spent about 5hrs on the 7 this weekend. Timing is set, carb is tightened down, fuel lines done, and cleaned the dust out lol. Need to finish tightening the oil lines down and the clutch pedal. Still need coils, e-fan, battery, and a couple other little things before I can fire it up finally. Oh and the dreaded wiring lol

Test fit

Nice!

Thanks!



Started installing the headlight buckets, motors, and new headlights.

Cleaned and painted

All mounted up and ready for use

Thanks to mr Dave Jones (Mazdave) I got a replacement arm for the driver side motor that I lost somehow. Tomorrow I plan on replacing the pitman arm and installing all new tie rod ends for the steering along with new bolts

Started reapplying ALL the bolts under the hood as well as starting a wire tuck. Yes..... It sucks! I have stripped the harness down and started cutting wires. We will see how it turns out. Headlight wires are ran so far.

Still need to figure out what to do with all these wires...
http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/u...psa869e214.jpg

And try to remember what these went to lol

looking great mate, what widebody are you planning on using?

Planning on using the one from blackdragonauto, but they may not sell it anymore

Final product for the direct fire ignition coil mount. Had to shorten it about an inch for a good fit. Needs a little sanding and paint, then it's ready to go!

http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps1ec4d0b9.jpg

Painted and ready to go! Pics sucks, but I'll get better ones before I install it...

Finished up the coil mount and installed it. I'm pretty happy with it! Just need coils now lol

I also finished up my headlight wiring and now cutting, relocating, soldering, and heat shrinking the rest.... Did I ever mention I hate wiring?!?!

Installed my new sway bar yesterday. It was so much bigger than the factory bar that I had to open up the wholes in the tension rod mounts so it would slide through. Pretty happy with it other than the fact that it is the wrong color!

And yes the washer are temporary! Lol

My moroso switch panel also arrived so I installed in as well. Still need to do a lot of wiring and buy/install all the gauges. Love it so far.

So I was headed to a buddies house to work on my awesome girlfriends newly acquired SA and I saw what looked to be an rx7 with a body kit....... Turns out it was! Now I had a widebody at one point and like an idiot I got rid of it and now I'm building the same car. Long story short they no longer sell the old kit I had and I couldn't find one anywhere. This rx7 just happened to have the very kit I needed....

I immediately turned around and went back to look at it. The owner was not around, but his daughter was. I told her I was extremely interested in the body kit and gave her my number. Then I looked it over for a few and snapped a pic.

The next morning the old man called me and after a few minutes of talking he said that he was not interested in separating the kit from the car at all. So I bought the whole car.....

It's a 1982 GSL with 153,000 miles from Tennessee.

Not a huge fan of the tan, but I kinda like it...

Inside the car was a brand new never used set of tokico blues and a new set of lowering springs.

Messed with it a little today and tried starting it. Car fired up pretty easily, but the fuel pump isn't working at all. Car ran for only a few seconds, but sounded pretty good. Car is almost 100% stock and very quiet lol

Meet short bus lmao

That's a hell of a find. The tan interior looks great with the right body color. I'm partial to the British racing green with a tan interior, but that might just be me. :lol:

This is the lemons car I picked up Saturday.

Sadly the motor is locked, however it does have the crazy hard to find 3 piece wing on it and many other awesome parts I can use!

I also found this bad boy for only $150

Well it's been a while since I posted last! I just returned from DGRR 2015 and it was fantastic as always!

I've been working on the widebody along with a couple other FB's that I picked up a while back. I will upload some current pics when I get a chance to do so!

What's up guys. Been a few months since I've been on here.

Update!
I picked up another rx7........., again lol. I bought an 83 GS with the 3 piece wing and rear louvers. Car only has 89k miles on it and is a tornado silver metallic... Sadly the previous owner drove it to work at a metal factory. So the paint is ruined.

Now onto the widebody!!!!

I've gotten my takata harnesses, sparco steering wheel, NRG gen 3 hub, and aluminum fuel cell. The FC brake setup is on and complete for the front, but I'm still waiting on my rear axles to be drilled for the new bolt pattern. I'm currently working on making a new gauge cluster. Pics to come soon!

Didn't I see on FB that you are considering selling the widebody kit?

yes i'm thinking about it. i need to fund parts for my 83 for DGRR 2016! im looking at a sidedraft carb, sparco seats, harness bar, takata harnesses, fender flares, brakes, gilmer drive, radiator, and hopefully better suspension!

i just got my fuel cell for the widebody and im waiting to have my pieces to make a respeed rack cut out.

P.S........ i have (2) widebody kits lol
