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.

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.

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

Good luck with it.

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.
