my 1st RX7 project, I couldn't be happier

OMG is it my RX7? Yes yes it is, this morning I woke up and after a lot of work, (the wheels and tires I bought didn't fit so we did have to do some dragging through dirt). The guy who towed my project car, Scott. Was really amazing, with a flat bed truck and an RX with only 2 tires, (both flat and doughnuts) managed to get the car in my garage like it went in them under it's own power.

I ran a carfax on it, because the last thing I would want to happen is to get it into running 10's and find out it's a hot car.

But yup there it is. Right now I'm taking a break from it, to try and upload pictures to my cardomain account which is down right now. Ohh well.

I know what you feel. I will be tubbing mine here next week and got all ready the slicks ready to mount and figure out how much of the 9" rear to cut.

Am I the only one who loses all sense of time when working on the car?
