Another slow Build thread (56K noway!)
Yes, I know this is yet ANOTHER slow build thread however this one is mine 
To start out here's the info,
The Car: 1985 Rx7 GS 12a 5speed.
The Driver: 19yr old Canadian
The Plan: To make something unique yet still OEM, To be a summer driver and Weekend track car.
The Goal: May1st 2010 (running 100% but not complete!)
And last but not least the story and the pictures!
Well here we go, I picked this car up several months ago as a running, driving, complete car. However, some things weren't perfect.
The headliner had no fabric, the seats are a bit worn and the floor was somewhat rusted out. To top this off the car still has vacuum secondaries,
and the air-pump still installed talk about buzz kill!
Overall upon delivery I would give the car a solid 7/10 for over all condition and value. After getting the car home I had a few immediate but not
integral problems to address, i.e.. burn out headlight and my interior lights did NOT function which really sucked driving it home at 2am on a DARK highway!
Here's pictures of the progress,
The Car,
(excuse the orange looking tinge I took these pictures with my iPhone car is actually Red)
The floor before,
And During, (welding will be done the weekend the car goes into winter storage!)
Current interior
Also in the future the car will be getting 4 point harnesses, a new stereo and possibly an Eaton M62/M90 may find its way into the engine bay,
but first things first getting rid of the holes and cleaning up the interior!
P.s. does anyone know where I can buy a new one of these?
The only thing keeping my Sunroof closed is the release clip as the locking things are broken/missing
