Quick question though, why are the pods in the exterior pic of the car black and then on the interior shot cream coloured? :xconfused
lol - had them re - trimmed. the car is changing by the day. one pic was a bit older than the other

lol - supra was fitted by a mate. this is being done by clays in milton keynes!
supra had issues that it was totally carbon fibre so it wasnt possible to fill over and paint imperfections / cracks. or gaps for that matter. also i had lambos which didnt really fit - again the only way was to move the front wings forward.
but dont worry - this is having a propper bodyshop do it.
 
saying that... was the supra that bad? it sold for £18500 and now its up for sale  (NEW OWNER) FOR £21995!!

Quote from: RobbieRX-7Looking forward to seeing this project come along.There is no way your gonna get all that sent over as a gift. What if it goes missing? Your gonna loose a lot of cash right there
had quite a bit sent by companies in the past. saying that  - its my risk i spose.

The supra wasnt to my taste, carbon is hard to work with though your right.

Clays have a good reputation though so you should be in safe hands.

Sounds like this will be a better finished car i know you took a lot of stick on the supra site with the last one.  You seem to be doing it right anyway with a decent width of rim etc etc.

As long as your happy with the final result though you shouldnt really care what other people think.

What colour comination you going for, are you going for a two colour style that most go for with this kit?  There are some photoshopped combinations on this site somewhere if you were looking for inspiration.

yeah - but i didnt get on with the supra site..... and it was a few vocal individuals.  I accept the issue the supra had with the width but i tried to have some made (14" by19") and it was £2000 per wheel !! thats why spacers went on it.
i want this to be perfect though and i got a good deal on the wheels!!
 
Colour scheme.... didnt want anything too \'in ya face\' so rather than the bright orange or yellow colour schemes i have decided on a two tone.... back and pearl white. that shoul;d go nicely with the interior scheme.
 
lol - i found the pics you refered to. they were photoshopped by my m8 adam for me!  i also see that pigme boy has been on here. He came on street-legal several months ago saying he was building one of these. ( he doesnt even have a licence lol) and guess what.... still no fortune kit and no rx7.

there are a couple of guys on RX7club.com who have done this kit... might be worth looking at their threads as some have full write ups and pictures...

I\'m glad you mentioned you are having 12" wide on the back and 9" wide on the front, for a second I thought you were having 12" inch all round!!

Best of luck with this, it should be a hell of a car when it\'s finished, looks like you have plenty of dosh to see it through, you should think about a 20b once youve got the body sorted....
