well, me and ray made some progress yesterday.....
-we got the front bumper completely mounted and painted flat black
-installed the rear coilovers
-finished the fender rolling job
-ordered the wheel adapters ( 1" in front, 1-3/4"rear)
-went to pick a part for misc parts (got a hood release lever, ecu kickpanel cover, and a plastic piece i was missing)
slowly getting there.... main thing i wanna do is get the volks on the car with the adapters to see where they sit with the fenders.. very ansy for that!
oh...and AIT bodykits SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! in the time it took me to just get the damn front bumper to fit and the turn signals and ftps to actually go into their holes, i had already installed my entire body kit on my previous rx7!! Version Select FTW, AIT FTL!
and me and ray test fit the sideskirts, and holy hell.... crappy crappy crappy... will have to spend hours filing everything down to fit...BUT! i only paid @240 for the kit.. so oh well
and heres some more pics
after we started blacking out everything..shes not gonna be red anymore!
after the bumper was installed
my little workshop!
