MY Rx-7 Progress pictures.. Look :}
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...

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.

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!

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!

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.
