AE restoration
What's up gang. I finally decided to show my face again after a long break from rx7 forums. My last TII got totalled as some of u might have seen the random pics of devasted white 7 with both rear rims broke off. Anyway I got a new toy while back from a good friend and forum member but I was taking my time with putting it back on the road. Well past couple months I really kicked the project into high gear and here's what I've done so far. The car was in rough shape even though it didn't look like it from the outside. So far i'm getting body work done.

Engine bay was filthy as any 20+ year old car and the left rail was being eaten away from years of battery acid leakage. All the rust was sandblasted away and rusted rail was coated with 3M panel bond epoxy which has rust inhibitor properties just to be sure. New seam sealer was applied and now the engine bay is spanking new looking. I even threw in a couple runs in paint to match the original look . Then it was time to do the rest. And the fun begins...

Looks good you decide on what kind of paint your putting on?I'm in the process of finishing my 10th ae build myself and am interested in seeing what other guys are doing.My interior is already tampered as is under the hood however :P
Also just put on a set of BBS LM F1s I bought locally.I'll be starting a thread very soon.
Good luck buddy

That's what somebody else told me today, but right now the plan is to restore stock rims and use them on the car. Only noticeable exterior mod will be the racing beat mufflers (new style) sticking out the back. Im even keeping the factory windshield which is tintend slightly from the factory
