Mine sits most nights about a block away from the hill district in Pittsburgh. It's been broken into twice

vxturboxv did you paint the fc urself? I'm looking to do that color on my SE. What base did you use? Manufacturer?

Nice shop btw. I wish I had access to a press and lathe it would make fabrication so much easier.

Yes its a basic 1 step cheap auto paint. I think mine was sherwin williams? You buy the gloss black and add a flattener to it.

It's been holding up pretty good. About 2.5 years on it now. It's a bastard to keep clean though!



Now back to the garages!

Anyone have a pit installed? I was looking into it. Any price estimates?

Scott (Trochoid) has a pit, but iirc he built it himself.

vxturboxv, What brand of Cherry picker is that? IT would match my garage perfectly, and I need one anyway.

Omg i feel your pain man. I couldnt even see my car last year!







This year my girls father let me put my RX-7 in his other house out in Long Island, where i plan on doing some work on my 7. Better than being burried under 7 feet of snow lol





I have already asked to take over the entire garage and im very close of getting it, if his son, doesnt do what hes suppose to in a few weeks =)

Unloved is the word. You've got some true commitment.

No word of a lie I think chiqui could build an entire 1st gen with the parts he has in the attic of his garage.I went by his place last weekend,and bought a tranny from him,and I realized my collection of parts is tiny compared to him.
