I have done a work on a lot of rotaries sarting with the earli R100s, but this one I am truly enjoying because is all the way from the ground up, pretty much everything. I can not wait to get it on the road.

 

Got my undercarriage done, brakes all around and a few other things. WOrking on the interior and will start with the engione in a couple of weeks. Got some parts chromed and install and finally decided and bought the wheels. Here a re some pics.

 

Lookin damn goood! I like those rims whered you get em? Keep up the good work!!!

 

Nice wheels and nice work. Hope you reach your goal this spring!

 

I got the wheels from Discount tire with tires and all. The rub some, so I will either need to go to a narrower tire size or use a spacer. i am kind of skeptical about the spacers since the car tends to vibrate.

 

very very nice ... this what i hope my car to look like someday once iget a base car that not as rusted as the one that I have right now.

 

I finally got aroung to stay home long enough to get something done. Got all the wiring done for the two amps, radio and speakers. Got the carpet cut and in place and got the seat somewhat in place. Put the dash in and a fuel.air gauge. Will do the windows tomorrow and finish some loose ends.

 

Looking at the date when this project started make me feel olderthan I am. Here is the latest pictures and project update. Almost doen just a few more things to do. Got the drive shaft done by adding new U-joints and welding the turbo joke to it. Got an e-fan and the passenger seat. Also got some parts w/the CF look. I am static and ready to get this car on the road. Enjoy...

 

More pics....

 

I am hoping to get this thing starte in the next couple of weeks. GBot to finish polishing the intake for the carb and cleaning the cars(s). Clamps for the radiator and connecting the fan. Fininsh the electrical and bolting the passenger seat. Got to do some spot welding for the seats and change a seal. I also have to go and buy some wheels again and that should be it.

 

Got the carbs kits in and got the carbs cleaned out and finnaly on the car. Got the driveshaft done after going back and forth from the machine shop and to trying to find the right parts and aftermarket u-joints. Fan is hooked on and just about everything in place. Got another short shifter on the tranny and the **** in place. The car is starting to come alive. Here are some pics.

 

What did you use for the stereo surround? Was it a vinyl based sheet to simulate CF?

 

I have no clue. My understanding is that it is a film that floats on top of a fluid. The parts are in the same fluid and as they are brougth up, the film attaches to it. No peeling or unglueing since it becomes a part of the part, Makes sense?

 

Lookin' good man, I can't wait to see a video of this thing tearin' up the roads!

 

if you look on ebay there's always a guy that offers those covers. in cf/wood/aluminum

 

THere are a couple of sites and some vendors on e-bay that sell cut out pieces of this materials to fit in that spot, but no actual OEM part or look alike. Mine a re the riginal pieces covered/fuzed on w/the material. I seeing the cut out pieces and they look good as well.

 

Aha, yes water transfer printing is what it is called

 

Yeah, that sounds like logic!

GOt the drive shaft in yesterday and will complete a few more coneections today. Should be able to crank it by the weekend. Brrp, brrp, brrp

 

Subscribing just for the pure quality of the car.... Doing well.

 

Wow. old thread coming into the homestretch. Does a heart good to see that.

 

It's been almost three years, between being on the road, activated, relocated and too amny projects is almost there. I believe i finally got everythig, (again), to complete it in the next couple of weekends. I think I should be able to start it this weekend. Will take pics, videos and celebrate,,,

 

I am feeling inspired seeing what you have done with your SE. What seats are those that you used? They look nice. I also like the wheels, they look sweet. I definitely have to respect the attention to detail you have been giving this project. Nice job.

 

The seats are RX8 seats. Still have to bolt down the passenger side And weld the brackets on both. A lot attention to detail and time consuming and I am loving it...

 

Cuñao,

Awesome job. Wish I was there to help.

Got the car started this weekend. Sounds awesome. Made a little video, should be able to post it tonight. Got my steering wheel in and are waiting for the hub/adapter. I need to make a few adjustments here and there and I'll be able to put it on the road for a test drive.
