The RX-Salmon project

This is my other rx-7. Its called the Rx-Salmon, as the paint looks like a salmon fillet....kinda. It actually looks more like a mango if were talking food, but Rx-Salmon just sounds better. The pictures are in order of the first day i bought it, up till today at 'round 4:00pm.
Basically:
-I bought it not running (with the wonderful windshield banner and steering wheel cover)
-Got it running on the stock computer after removing the emissions equip
-Tore it all apart to replace the gaskets and injections stuff
-preparing for a Megasquirt installation

This is the "My other car needs alot more work (and more importantly $$$) to be in the state i want it to be in so i'll drive this car until it is how i want it" car...WHEW. That was one hell of a run-on sentence.

ENJOY!
-Tyler

You know, i was wondering about that alternator. Ya gotta wonder why the previous owner put on a 1st gen unit. *Shrug*. Will it be seriously inadequate to power the car compared to the already inadequate s4 unit?
