I almost forgot! Did you paint or use the steel wool method?

 

Steel wool method. Here, I added this to my web page.

Let's see your before and afters!

 

nope pretty sure I still hate the color brown...for that matter I'd take faded burgandy anyday...lol

 

inittab did his with steel wool and although there aren't any pics anywhere posted i saw his doo doo brown interior first hand and it looks PERFECT...

if i ever see inittab driving his 7 again i'll make sure to take pix of his interior

 

am about to embark on this adventure myself, as my panels are faded. I'll post back after the weekend and let anyone interested know the results.

 

Thanks Bizarro, I knew I'd picked this idea up on the forum someplace, your link shows that Initab was my source. He deserves credit for this really neat way to keep your RX7 stock, instead of committing it to the downward spiral of "mods". I recently picked up an unmolested white 84 GSL with the burgandy interior, faded in at least 6 differents shades of reds and browns. I actually kind of like the look, classic 1st generation styling:

Of course the rear panels in this one are scorched white too and will need the steel wool treatment. I'll post some photos when I get the interior cleaned up.
