1983 CYM FB...Putting it back together

Well, as many of you know, I have been feverishly working on my 83 gsl, shaving emblems, welding up rust holes, spreading bondo too thin (like my time, hehe), learning to paint, and then spraying the rx7 cym pearl. aka Competition yellow mica.
Well after nearly 7 months of planning and work, it is almost finished. So here are a couple of teaser pictures until tuesday when everything is done and the car gets its new "maiden voyage".
Before Pic is at bottom of this post.

AFTER (NOW):



So, heres the specs of my new car!
1983 RX-7 GSL
COMPETITION YELLOW MICA PAINT
1985 STREETPORTED 12A ENGINE
1985 GSL TRANSMISSION
FRONT MOUNT SE OIL COOLER WITH S/S LINES
STREET/STRIP CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE
ROTARYSHACK OER SIDEDRAFT CARBERUTOR
RACING BEAT STREETPORT COMPLETE EXHAUST
NEW CENTER CONSOLE WITH CD PLAYER
NEW BLACK DASHBOARD COVER
REDLINE GOODS SHIFTBOOTS
NEW WEATHERSTRIPPING ALL AROUND

COMING SOON...

GSL-SE SUSPENSION AND BRAKES
VENTED CARBON FIBER HOOD
CARBON FIBER SUNROOF

I have put in 7 months of my own blood sweat into this car, so if you dont like it then tough **** take it and like it, lol.
I am extremely happy how the car came out, and I am very stoked that this project is almost done...hehe, it will never be "Done".

It won't post those pics like that. You need to link to them differently.

The giveaway is "viewMessage.do"

That's a page that needs to have something submitted to it. Since I'm not logged into that website as you, and I'm not submitting whatever clicking on that image would submit, I can't see it.

that looks pretty sweet in the CYM. I have a 93 CYM, best color out there for any RX7.

That does look good! You painted yourself? I'm actually planning on doing the same things... I'm going through bodywork and shaving/prepping for paint now. That seems to be taking the longest.

And how did your dashboard cover turn out? I'm not sure if I want to try that hard plastic cover to hide my crappy brown one now, or just buy a new black one to do it right? Got any interior pics?
