Hey, if you dident know allready im 15 and have a project Fc.. This all started with a 1988 Se with a blown engine and 146,000 miles.. What i have done so far

- swaped the engine with a used 13B with 66,000 miles

- Revomoved the AVC and vacuum tubing and the emmisions stuff

- Then I howlled out the cats.

- Next i installed a T2 hood the and now im in the progress in the S5 body conversion i have all the parts, they just have to be installed..

- i installed Rear Grey seats and T2 front seats..

- i know its like a rainbow, it needs paint in the future

Just keep in mind im 15 years old and doing all the work alone...

LMK what you think

 

 

You appear to be missing a section of the front that I would consider necessary.
Actually, I have a car in the same predicament...
LoL, what are you gonna do? I'd like to do something similar to my red fc...

 

The interior needs some definete work, but in my opinion, get an engine someday that's ported and make sure it runs really well and don't do a damn thing to the exterior of the car.
But in serious land, good job, you must have a lot of good productive time on your hands. i'm betting once you turn 18 you're gonna have a pimp *** car and a shitton of expirence.

im going to reweld the rad support beam back in

 

Looking good man

It is indeed very... colorful.

Keep it up, don't loose faith. The car still has great potential.

 

Frankenstein

Looks good man, keep up the work...Can't wait to see that beast when it's done!!!

 

Love the awesome color scheme goin on and for being 15 your doing a good job, im 18 and got my first project FC so im in the same bucket you are.

keep up the good work

 

Nice job. Keep it clean, well, make it clean first, THEN keep it clean.

 

Yeah, Winter is coming up i will probably sand, do the body work and prime it and then paint it in the warmer months(it helps that my dad usta be a painter at a porshe dealer)hehehhe

Thanx for the support


Dustin

 

LoL, that is a project only a 15 year old would attempt. I barely have time for what I'm doing and it's not where close to how much work you're doing! Keep it up! I wanna see it when it's done!

 

i agree with parasite, when i was 15 i would have taken it on... but now, that requires a LOT of effort, and I dont do that!

reminds me of a clown car, but keep up the good work!

 

hey dood, real nice job you've done

i'm 17 and im beginning to start the whole rx-7 craze too. wanna exchange emails? i need some tutorials.

ps. when ur friends think ur crazy, work even harder.

 

LOL, this is great, I just turned 18 and bought my second FC 2 weeks ago...Looks good so far man, Get it painted and it'll look amazing...btw are you gunna keep those back seats? oh IMO the black interior looks SOOO much better than grey, so if you have a lota time why dont ya dye it black, just a suggestion. GL man

 

Good God man how many cars did it take to make that looks like you got it one piece though keep up the good work you definitely could be a member of the RX-7 preservation society save the sevens screw the whales and trees !

 

Oh god. I was fifteen 8 years ago. I was 18 five years ago. Seems like last week. i am 23 and feeling old already.

 

I'm 18 and just bought my second as well... Pretty GTU... i really need to get some pics

 

That's awesome man! You remind me of myself when I was 15 piecing together my first Honda in the garage. Car looks excellent, when you get it painted she'll look alot better. If you've got some time until it goes in teh paint booth just rattle can that bish all one color. It'll look alot better that the patchwork seven, besides flat black is the new bling bling

Suggestions:

1. While your in there might as well relocate the battery. A summit box can be purchased for cheap on Ebay, or you could just use the stock one if you have all the peices, they also sell wire on Ebay for really cheap, I'm sure you could figure out how to do the rest.

2. Castol Superclean will get that engine looking alot better, it'll clean anything!

3. The TII hood is just advertising something you don't have, and the scoop is just an airbrake( just my personal opinion you do whatever you damn well please)

4. Fawking right on man, keep up the good work!

 

aside from the black, it's very patriotic

on second thought, with the black, it's very spiderman

 

This car has like parts from about 7 Fc's LOL

I love the look of the T2 hood even if its not turbo...(who knows turbo may be in the near future)

I plan to paint the whole car white including the moldings(u think white will look good

Do you think I should keep the hood black??

i think i may paint it will white 98cent walmart paint just for now ahahah

 

Black hoods are only cool if they are actually made of CF, or if somehow it's part of a bigger paint scheme, even then it'd be tough to make it look good without being CF.

 

Your next step is to take a kitchen knife and go at those tires and wheels. Seriously, I would change to better/larger wheels or at least lower it a bit. You are doing a good job though. I think the blue color on the front peice would look NICE across the whole car when you paint it.

Its like a bag of skittles, but skittles are still good, keep up the good work.
