UPDATE WITH VIDEOS AND PICS (not DSL friendly)
 
well here is a UPDATE. well you know how i had my carb problem well its fixed. it cant run on its own. so we needed to turn the car around to finish the front and right side. but we still need to put the hand brake on. so we put it on the ground and well drove it out side. my dad drove it because i dont know how to drive stick yet. well when we was moving it in the drive way we blown another brake line. we had the car out side for a good 3 hours. when people drove by all the cars slowed down when they passed my car :) so well here is the video of my car driving out of the Garage and being drove back in.

CONGRATS MAN!

you are far more ahead than me.

Im still a long way from a running 7

Rx7carl 05-11-08 07:14 PM

Lotta work youve done to it. Not my style but I can appreciate the effort. Good luck.

openshot 05-11-08 09:34 PM

thanks. right now i started up for my friend. my idle sucks it missfires on idle under 1000rpm reved it up miss firering bad. turned it off. tryed to turn it back on will not start. going to try and fix it tomarrow. then we have to jack her up put her back on jack stands.

Dan_s_young 05-11-08 10:24 PM

Starting it up, shutting it off, starting it up... That's how you foul up the spark plugs. excess fuel builds up on them preventing spark and flooding the engine.

Personally I still don't like the body kit. But I want to see this thing painted, it will look much better paint can really make or break a car.

Also I still don't like the idea of no front bumper. Your car is really going to be screwed if you hit anything.

openshot 05-11-08 11:55 PM

maybe my spark plugs are foul up. i was told i should get new spark plugs. the reason i turned off the car because maybe that would fix the miss fireing because of my idle. on my reving video at 1:08 there is alittle idle part. and plz dont start with the front bumper thing i know its very strong.

i have no muffler on lol. i thrown on a transport truck muffler tip my dad found at his old work. so the gas and smoke would not go all over the inside of my bodykit.

Nie job on the work, but as many people, I'm not a fan of the style. Its not very original (for this car it is, but the styles been over killed since before the FNF days), but I am excited to see the end result.

openshot 05-12-08 12:14 AM

what are the FNF days?

how heavy is the bumper? is it all bondo

John64 05-12-08 05:08 AM

I think the bumper is all bondo. I do recall he used small round pipe to "make it strong". Lets just hope you dont hit a cat or anything.

openshot 05-12-08 03:06 PM

we used a 1.5 inch pipe. there is fiber glass under the bondo.

Openshot, the car is a thing of beauty and the videos are works of art. You are making a one of a kind 7 that is just going to get better and better.

Home made bumpers that actually look good:

dbragg 05-12-08 10:32 PM

openshot 05-12-08 10:35 PM

well ray if you see in the video at 2:45 when its being put back in you can see how much room there is from hiting the ground lol 2 inch left if i lower the car i may never get it back in lol.

openshot 06-11-08 06:18 PM

that thing still sounds like it only runs on 1 rotor!

openshot 06-21-08 12:32 PM

well well here is the newest update the car is out side now because we have to puch my friends camaro in the middle to weld up the floors then that thing will be out side and mine can go back in.

well we took it down the street and back. my dad was driving because i dont know stick still. but my dad let off the cluch slow under 3000rpm all you feel is the back tires spining and we took off. we get to 6000rpm then shift into 2nd. the wheels started to spin once more for about 5 or 6 feet. damn its fast.

well here is a video of it being driven down the street and turned around. my dad would of done a donut but the hood is not bolted on.

there are pics of the car in the video.

ray green 06-21-08 02:36 PM

You guys have done a ton of work and that's a very original body kit, is it totally fabricated by you and your Dad?

I don't know much about body kits but I've never seen anything like that one. And unlike most of the others yours actually adds something to the car, looks good.

Nice work Damien! (and your Dad, it looks like he's chipped in a bit too).

Ray

openshot 06-21-08 03:22 PM
