Unbelievable, that's all I can say...
This is a real nice bit of work. Somehow I think it'd be cheaper to just buy an FD, but nevertheless, this thing looks amazing.

Nice man.
Next rev of the RX8 should look like that, they can get rid of that design by committee body they did that way.

What colour?

It is an insanely gorgeous car. I've been saying that it was going to be since I saw the first pics so long ago. Definitely didn't disappoint. Honestly, even my original expectations have been surpassed by your skills. Congratulations on it. It really does look amazing.

Wow, awesome work. Cant wait to see it painted. Thats some serious work getting the FD rear grafted on. Did you use an actual FD body or fab it from scratch?

hey guys, thank you for all the comments and support. its been a long time since i started on this project and it seems as if it was well worth it. and it also looks like my dream of having a first gen with a tII motor and an FD body that will turn heads will come true.

as for the color: black FTW!

sevenstock? i apologize sincerely. it wont be done by then

hot import nights? changed my mind about making it a showcar. it is going to be a "street terror"

should i have just bought and FD? NO! i have sharpened my skills so much with this project and i am damn proud of it. i have learned so much in fabrication and design.

and for people wanting to photoshop my car, try playing with this:

You have indeed made the ultimate rx-7, mixing an fb,fc,and fd together you have created the future rx-7! You must and i mean must mass produce this body kit, as you have read already there are lots of people willing to buy this kit(including me). Can't wait to see it with a paint job! +million rep.

That car is so nice Mazda should have built it instead of the 924 clone it built that we call the 2nd gen. Great work...keep us updated.
