You probably need to use an external hosting site. The picture uploading on this forum has been FUBAR for a while now. Cardomain and Photobucket are a couple of good ones off the top of my head.

 

here are the links

let me know your houest opinion

 

uh, what's up with the front end?

 

i lowered it and havent gotten to the back yet

 

I think it's great to have a hobby. Especially at an age when you could be doing worse then spending money on a car. Have fun, good luck. Looks good.

 

needs work.

Good luck with it glad to see you doing the work yourself

 

looks good man!
what kinda suspension setup do u have?

 

yeah what setup? looks a little too low..

good luck.

 

Wow, racing stripes.

 

i has tokiko struts and cut springs(just untill i can afford good springs)

 

the racing stripes were on the paint when i got it i gonna paint it white.....

 

needs some work but itll be a beauty when shes done (take a look at "project: paint the 7" alot of good tips for ur body work. and it would be pretty easy too go for a striped interior race look right now hmm have fun with it and enjoy

 

yeah my dad is a mechaniac and a body man so he taught me all the tricks of the trade so i cant wait to get the engine going and do the body work and paint her up good

 

ur lucky then im pretty good with anything mechanical and can get just about anything done if i read a little bout it first and understand stuff better then most of my freinds who have gone through a votech course or class of some type but i still have too feel my way through it pretty blind and gettin ahold of some of the tools is a pain. so yea congrats and good luck (u will love drivin her tey handle and feel jus plain sexy carvin up the curves on a windy road)

 

That's pretty cool, father-son bonding, and getting your car running/looking good.

Good luck with it.

 

Thanx

do u guys think it is too low and is the t2 hood is rice on a non turbo se

 

well mine is about as low (maybe a lil higher) and so far it's fine.
I've got a TII hood too, but it came with the car

If you like it, keep it!

 

little low (looks nice but might mess with the suspension geometry a bit they say 1-1.5in helps but any more can get a little weird somtimes but im in it for the handling and am probaly bein picky lol) but would look real nice with a set of 17s tucked under there though u might have some rubbin problems and i dont think the t2 is rice an a na though some people do (there typically some stuck punk kid though so it really doesnt matter)

 

front end does look a little low. doesnt look like it needs all that much work done on the exterior. hatch glass, lights, couple other small parts and some paint. i hope your not just fixing it up because you didnt have enough money to buy another car, because if you are then you will probably go broke. better to keap saving since your only 15. but have fun with it.

 

I think you'll have to post pics of the clearance and ride height after the back is leveled up.. well, down It's cool that you're working on it with your dad, We just got my car on the road about three months ago, My dad, my friend and I worked on the project. He enjoyed it enough that we're about to start bodywork on his newly aquired 85 GS

Make sure you keep up with the pics when you go to paint it If you're looking for info, or your dad isn't big into body work (my dad was big into mechanical, but never did bodywork either), then 87base RX-7 is right. There's lots of good discussion going on at the "Project: Paint the 7" thread.

 

i have all the parts and then some.. i did not get the car cuz i had no money i got it cuz i waz instrested in the rotary engine becuause it waz so unikile any other.
