I've been in the process of sprucing up my RX for quite awhile. I finally got the finishing touches by having it painted, and mounting new wheels. The car looks better now than it did brand new (no clear coat 25 years ago, and better paint technology). It is an 82 GSL, but I haven't decided if I want to put the "GSL" logos back on the sides of the car. I have attached a few pictures here, and some more in the pictures "sticky" thread.

 

That looks great , any thing else done under the hood?

 

Holy crap! That looks good. Makes me wanna get a set of those graphite Rewinds for my white 83 GSL, seeing as I have a set of black Ronals on my 83 GS.....

 

Nice!! Looks like a great paint job!

 

Nice looking rx-7. I love a good paint job.

 

ummmm



absouletly beutiful

 

Thank you all for your nice comments. It has truly been a labor of love. If it hadn't been for the members of this forum talking about all the things they do to restore their 7s, I might not have done it. I'm of an older generation so I had some of this farmed out (i.e. the paint job). The paint job ran me a little over $5,400. I know, I know, there are those that would say it's rediculous to put that much into a paint job, but the place I took it did a first class job (plus it included a new windshield). It is the same original Formula White, but with all the clear coat they used, it is much deeper and more brilliant than the factory paint job.

I haven't done anything under the hood. Still the same ole stock 12A it came with. I thought the ride would be rougher going from 13" to 15" rims with the thinner tires, but after driving it a couple of days, the ride is better than it was before.

Thanks again to all with your comments and inspiration!
