I actually got another tool that works good too it's not loud no sparks and safe some metal I have to use cut off wheel but trying to avoid it . Thanks and my project is finally moving along .

Thanks and I been a bit busy with my 1St gen but I jump on the rx3 here and there . Are you support for the floor good or is it gone ? Parts for our cars are super rare ,bro is easier to have someone built floor like a full chassis style and it will work good .

good updates man! Your skills are getting better every day buddy! Great restoration progress!

Well the shell I get was cut for drag racing as 3/4 chassis, I have the roll cage, chassis engineering suspension and differential, strange axles but I remove it from the shell to restore it due to the fact that now the laws here doesn't allow that kind of modifications for street use. If not I can build it with that. I already get a Floor from the front to the support frame where the bottom rear seats begins. Any chance you can contact or ask your buddies here in the island ill appreciate.

Going to start a buil thread here soon. Not much to post but I'll do. Just collecting parts.

just read this whole thread! Your project has come a long way and is looking great. I'd be scared of doing that much metal work, but its worth the end result for sure. Keep up the good work, hopefully we will see the rest of that 20B come together soon.
