The paint looks fantastic! Maybe it's the pics (*or my tablet), but is the car white or the beige/tan color? Your engine bay looks like beige/tan. I ask because that's the original color of my 84SE and I've only seen a few examples of original paint. Our engine bays match - because I didn't paint my engine bay when I had the car resprayed. Looking good,

It was painted the original white color by the previous owner. It’s a decent paint job but the funny thing is that the white is off. Not sure if it’s due to being out in the sun or that paint wasn’t matched correctly. I really like it though since it looks a little like the Beige colored Rx7’s that I always wanted. The interior is Burgundy which I’m really happy with as my previous Rx7 had it brown.
