I\'ll be doing the work in my garage, its pretty huge and I can cover everything in there without too much difficulty.  Also a good excuse to get a compressor, that said for £600 I\'d be tempted to send my car down to where yours is, it\'d be easier for them too as the colour would be staying the same :)

I had my previous car resprayed and like you I did the stripping myself, tis a bastard job, very rewarding putting it back together though it has to be said!

Wow!

Want to get mine sprayed in a few months but that looks a hell of a job stripping it down. Is it as hard as it looks or is it not too bad if you take your time and do it right?

£600 sounds a deal.

When I did my Prelude it was worse than the RX-7 looks.

THe rules are, get lots of money bags - and label the bag, put the screws, bolts, nuts etc from the wing, bumpers, mirrors, door handles, seals, lights etc into the said bags, the more you can split them up and keep them safe the better, its a pain of a job but it makes putting the car back together very easy and reasonably quick!

It will take a bit of time though, it took me two days to strip the prelude, but think of the cash you save!

puttin it back 2gether is the good part,
doors boot n most of the rear end is on now,

the only part i didnt like was,findin places to put the panels when thay hav been painted,i got a bigish unit but the only place i could put the panel was on my trany tipper n the ford cargo bed,
i got my 4 poster up in the air with sheets over it 2 keep dust of the car,(car is under the ramp)on top of the ramp i got the old bonet bumper n spoiler, gf s new front bumper 4 the del sol,

itl be nice to get my ramp back so i can do some fidles,:D
