My yet to be named first gen rx7

The story of my car...in picture form lol.

We start:

Was a real dodgy paint job when i got her, she was my mums first car (my mum is a revhead...shes looking at getting an FD now...im jealous as lol). Pics were taken right after i picked up the rims. (Says Rock Racing on them, have no idea what they are...look nice though).



----------

Then the nightmare began haha. Went a little too hard in the wet. Inexperienced...I feel i learnt my lesson, i know my limits alot more now.





----------

Went into a mates old mans panel beater to get fixed.

Stripped:





(badass looking kingswood overlander is his)

Primered:



Sprayed:



Shiny:



Put together again:

She came home looking nice again





-------------

Shes not as perfect as she was when she rolled out of the shop (daily driver to construction site...yay) but here are the latest pics of her.




She may not be as pretty...but i love her to bits...even if she does cost me haha.

Cheers
