Its an 88 convertible with about 50k original miles. There are a few door dings but nothing major except for teh dent on the front fender as you can see. But its ok cause I will be getting them taken out this summer when I am home. So far Ive put on a HKS exhaust, Bonez hi flo cat, and a mazdatrix short shifter. This summer Ill be getting RB headers and an intake of some kind. What do you guys think?

 

Holy Christmas, that is a clean car man, what kind of wax did you use??? I am jealous

 

very nice indeed

 

Are those wet okole seat covers? I think I spelled that right.

 

Looks nice!

I didn't see any dings, but you mentioned them. I've had several FDs with dings that were sucessfully removed by paintless dent removal. It is an art so the outcome depends on the experience of the technican. I use a guy with 13-14 yrs experience and the result is just amazing, you can't and won't be able to tell where the dings were.

They didn't drill any holes to access the back side of the panels, I removed some interior so he could gain access.

Thanks for the compliments guys. To answer some of your questions I dont know the name of the wax I used but I did prep it with Meguiar's pre wax and polish. It was the best I could do at the time and really needed a really good paint cleaning. The wax I used is some sort of detailers wax. It isnt sold in stores and I dont even know if they make it anymore. I have a cousin who used to work for simoniz and he gave me some wax. Claimed it cost like 25 for a can of it. Whatever. It works really good so I wont complian although I am starting to run low on it. And yes theose are wet okole seat covers. Ive had them for over a year now and I love them. They fit the seats great and havent worn much at all. The covers on the headrests have faded a little from the sun though. But they told me that would happen cause of the convetible top. The dings arent really noticable in the pic but they are there. I already have someone to take them out. My dads freind owns a very reputable body shop. He doesnt do the work himself be he reccomended someone who he takes his cars to and also has cars sent to. I trust him so it should be good.

 

ooohh very nice.

Some tweeking & post production for ya'

Thanks for the brightening up vaugnc. It looks good. The original pic of the car i have was taken on my digi camera. 3.3 mega pixles baby. Anyway I just used photoshop to crop the photo and to reduce the file size a bit. Those seat covers came from a compnay called wet okole. They make custom fit seat covers for just about any car. All their info is here Wet Okole . I think I payed $225 for them and extra cause I wanted them to say Rx-7. I dont remember the exact price cause it was over a year ago.

 

Rx7Roadster,

Ahh - sounds like your a bit of a shutterbug too

Cheap digi-cam trick for ya - take the pic slightly overexposed/bright and then reduce the gamma correction in photoshop/paint shop pro.

If you do the above & your pic was taken in good lighting, then all the silky details will be exposed and you'll get a better contrast ratio as well.

I prefer pics that have a little bit of brightness too them and aren't so ultra-deep that all the fine midtones are covered up. If you do it right you get deep blacks and good midtone

 

vaughnc,

Thanks for the tip. Ill have to try that next time I take some pics of the car. That wont be for a while since Im at school and am not allowed to have her here this year. Oh well I guess Ill have to wait till spring.
