my "new" rx7 project







The body is in great shape, the top works, but I hate the beige color so I'm getting a black top.
The na 13b is out and I plan on doing a 13b turbo II swap this spring.

This will be a fun little project, I just hope I'm getting over my head. I come from a Honda back ground and no jack **** about rotary's.......here is a pic of my Prelude

nice find. For the most part it looks like the paint is salvageable. Just need the right compounds to bring it back

Smile RXVERT Always in progress

Hi Brian, 1st of all let me say, great looking vert, I like that color top, 2nd of all ,you'll be gettin criticism from others, ( I don't like this, I don't like that, I hate it, etc.) But don't let it discourage you, pick your game plan and stick with it, granted you'll be changing ideas as it evolves, but, thats at your own discretion. Bottom line is you won't be able to please everybody, and "You " have to be happy with what your driving , not anyone eles. its an old post, but, for my story, go to the forum jump box, then click introduce yourself section, dated around 9-29-09. I know my car style is not for everyone, but I enjoy drivin it, and that's all that counts.,

Thanks for the advice and support....the best thing about coming from the honda scene and it's forum is it pretty much makes you not get up tight about constructive criticism.
I'm really happy I found this forum because I can ask questions (even the "newb" ones) and get straight honest answers without all the flaming.
