looks awesome! Wish I had somewhere like that lol!
 
On a brighter note...you can probably save yourself a respray by feathering in the key marks...Ive done it a number of times on keyed cars...you would never know it was damaged...
 
Get some matching paint, literally paint it with a brush into the grooves, keep applying until paint has built up past the surface, when dry rub down with 2000 wet to flatten with rest of body work, then lastly use cutting compound to get rid of the sanding marks.
 
Saved a number of cars from pricey resprays this way...food for thought

O sweet, thanks for the info! Didn\'t realise his kits included the hardware lol.
 
Keep up the good work

Nice project! Very thorough!
 
Where did you order your bushes from? I can\'t find any kits which give you the roll bar link hardware/droplinks like you have...
 
Also, before you por-15\'d the underside, whats that paste you are putting over the seams?
 
Looking great! Not too far now I bet

Thanks for the replies!
 
I have heard about the pim trick...do you think it\'ll be enough to pass? I don\'t have a 3.5% limit...mine is a hell of a lot lower

Just a query regarding single turbos...
 
I have a uk fd and I have been considering a single...sadly, I have more stringent emissions to meet compared to the imports.
 
Can I still pass if I rip out all the emissions, port and install a single? (without any dodgy mot\'ing please)
 
Does anyone make a cat that is very high flow and doesnt require the airpump? (which doesnt get burned out by our engine)
 
Thanks all

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Totally made my day!!

Thanks for the info Dave!
 
Just wish he\'d send me some more pics/details...

jesus, whats with all the price hikes today?
 
theres also another 800 quid one on PHeads I emailed about...runs fine but mot is running out in a month...sounds like a dodgy floor repair too...says he will put more pics up soon.

had a chat with him and got some more pics...was proper interested but now he\'s hiked the price up to £2500... and I really thought it would be a nice addition to the 3 other rx7\'s I own ...
 
has some rust here and there and needs a new passenger door and driver window mechanism just so any prospective buyers know.

Hi Ian,
 
yes please, I\'ll get in touch with him soon I think

I may be interested in buying the car...does everything work well mechanically and electrically?

Any one know much about this conversion?

Let me know how much you will be after...I\'m really interested

No don\'t fit them!!!
 
Sell them to me lol! I would love for a twr kitted car :p
 
on a serious note, I agree with the above...you really need the whole kit or nothing...looks a bit odd by itself tbh

nice work Ian!!!
 
Real dedication stripping it right back like that! Wish I had the resources to do the same!
 
How did you clean the parts/underside up? just wire brush and por15 straight over? did you use rust treatment as well?
 
Thanks!
