Hey there.. Cannot wait to see some more body work. Might give me some ideas for my next build! Be interested to see how your transition from the wide arches goes into the skirts?? Are you putting some super wide skirts on? Will see what it looks like but I could be interested in a set of arches! That being said I have a slight twist in mind.. What is the green gunk you are using over the joint? The problem I had on mine is after a cople of months the filler decided to sink back a bit and you can see dimples where the rivets were and a slight line around the edge of the arch.. at some point I will redo it.. I presume there s a bodywork trick to avoid this happening?!

Keep up the amazing work!

I have used fiberglass and epoxy to glue the arch to the car, then I use fiberglass filler over the joint befor I use normal filler..

I don`t now how I`am going to do it with the skirts yet..

Just out of curiosity, what kinda budget are you expecting to have spent on this car when finished? Ish.

It will be absolutely unbelievable, probably one of if not the best RX-7 in the world. Attention to detail ive seen is simply mind boggling.

I really don`t have a budget, but I think I will pass Â£60-70k..
