Looks like you're on to a good start getting you're body where you want it.

What's next on the list of things to do?

Well it has been a while sense my last post in this but I am currently Stipping the paint for a fresh clean coat. Keeping it red. The body kit is removed and I cant decide if i want to keep it or not I have been extremely torn on this kit. I like it but I dont. If there are any good suggestions of body kits let me know please!!!

I am going to get the Whole body work done first before I start on the engine. I will eventually be T2 Swapping it, Full t2 drive line, trans driveshaft, rear end w/ lsd ect and 5 lug... Ill be posting pics of progress soon..

I got a WRX i have been toying with latley so now i got to finish the 7

You have tons of choices regarding a body kit. Me, I prefer a simple setup... an S5 front bumper with a lip, RE Amemiya sideskirts and a rear diffuser rounds out an FC nicely!

Ultimately, you do what you want with your car. If I was you, I'd can that body kit, those wheels and turn that thing into a semi-stock DD..except for the suspension of course...i'd go bananas on the suspension.

Save the money that you'd put into doing a turbo swap into that car and just buy a TII. You're better off that way in the long run unless you want to deal with spending twice as much money converting the car over.

Possibly the worst looking kit I've ever seen. Nice job on the install though.

If you are going to keep it.....i would definately shave the moulding on the doors.

I never noticed that kit does away with all the trim.

Like turbo2rotor said....nice job on the install.

Wow this is OLD! I haven't been updating this thread. I have a Thread in the NW Section I update.

https://www.rx7club.com/nw-rx-7-forum-33/build-thread-progress-my-car-lots-pic-865772/

there the link.

But I guess I post a few pic here anyways

Most Current pic I guess.

Car is looking like ****.

Still doing the Molding on the body kit.

its going Slow because Child Support is raping my funds!




I molded the door Trim - Still not 100 Percent yet. A little wavy still.

Side skirts are almost done and so is Rear bumper

I added a S5 Wing Looks Nice!

Real update!! 05.13.2010

Well, MAN ITS BEEN A WHILE sense i updated this last.

My Daughter is now 6 Weeks old. She is awesome and Taking all my time!

But Today I decidded to work on my other baby!

THE BODY KIT IS NOT OFF. I was getting lots of cracks in the seams and when i fixed it they came back a few days later, This is not even from me driving the car. So The Molded body kit is not off the car. It will be used for a future project I think. Not sure yet.

anyways. All the Filler has been removed Was lots of fun too

Going back to a Almost Stock Look.

Going With:
S5 (89 to 91) RX7 Bumper w/ Corksport lip
Shine Auto Project Rear Diffuser
S5 Turbo II Sideskirts

And not much more than that!

Gonna be clean and Simple!
