Mitchocalypse build V2

Normally i just use a forum to document my build thread, and last time I used a local one which always turns to a shit show, and I think this community will offer the most valuable feedback.

Anyways, I was planning on starting this build in the fall, but my car was pretty much destroyed by a hailstorm here last week. I was out of town for work and I left it outside since the garage was packed full of stuff (from moving).So there was nothing I could do. I have a friend who will help me do most of the body work. He works at a high end shop here but will be donating his time in exchange for beer. (will be done on weekends and in a rented booth/ garage.) He said to repair everything would cost about 12-15 thousand dollars so I'm really grateful for his help. Of course I will be paying for materials and everything but the cost will be nowhere near that.

But here's the car before getting destroyed by the elements:



And here's the current state after a couple hours of tearing stuff off. (You can't really see the damage because pics were taken with iphone but everything was damaged somehow either by dents, paint chips, cracking in paint etc..





Part pile:





Just one more rx-7 consumed by the garage.

Will update tomorrow what I'm planning on doing with this build. Nothing that hasn't been done before but definitely a first for me. I'll need some help along the way, especially choosing some fuel parts but we'll get there later.
