RX-4 shell on RX-7 base

McPie · June 19, 2008, 11:08:03 AM

final decision is to make rx-7 base longer... but price ~1400pounds for the job + materials doun\'t put smile on my face....

1400 pounds - I think is good price for this hard work McPie.

few weeks was away from project...
had some redline tour:Viking

so back to business, I\'ve decided to save money, to save rx-7 base and even almost to save RX-4 shell

so here we go finaly cutted and ready to put on new sheel, this will be this week

then I\'ll make longer from fibre glass new fends and new hood
for the moment I\'ve stick fenders to FC

how fast!!!
nice to see progres. just yesterday those parts where in my garage

so what will you do with shorter wheel base?

McPie · July 19, 2008, 01:14:16 PM

so I did some cutind and then f*ckin cuting tool had broke, that was bad, all day I was in bad luck, so tried to use another tool electrisity and started to cut further, but then electricity just gone....

back to rx-4....
here is my idea. to move whole shell a little bit in to front as shown in picture below(sorry had no time to install photo shop - paint rulezzz

)

so I understood that I need more cuting on rx-7,
I\'ve disconected brakes, clutch, that some mazda wires and I\'d like to finish cuting this week if some will turn on the electricity

now it looks like...

My RX4 has 2 front and 2 rear, they fit near the front of the wings are used as indicators.

This is an amazing project, keep up the great work

McPie · July 20, 2008, 07:39:58 PM

I know how manyshould be, but as I understand abmber means full set of marker lights.

In ebay there are quite cheap from thailand (mid quality).
good job mate. be carefull under shell. by the way does 929 on rx7 fits in garage?

McPie · July 22, 2008, 02:17:50 PM

fits perfectly and I lifted a little bit more, there is still free space...
but between ground and door there was only 2 cm space
