Oil Presure Gauge working, wire wasn't clipped on
Sunroof working, needed to grease the rails
Turn signals back on car for front
A battery that fits back in
A shitfer boot back, but a cracked one

I still need to fix these things:

Autmoatic seatbelts
Driver Fender
Hood
Driver light
Flash to pass lights, might leave the whole there
Windshield
Exhaust
Oil Change and Tune Up
Tires, got the tire just need them mounted and balanced
Clean the inside and outsde of the car

I think there is a lifetime recal from mazda that will fix the bealts.
you can find a gfender at a junkyard or order a new one
same goes for the hood
FTPs don't have lights unless you have Jspec ones they are only lenses
oil change should have been the FIRST thing you did

I wll check out the recall for the belts

I have all ready found a fender for it and a hood, but I think my friend will be able to fix the hood

Yeah I have one of the FTP lenses, that what I men, need the passenger side one.

Well the car hasn't moved since I got it, other than being pushed around, so i haven't been driving it around, i still have to get the insurance and tag stuff.

Ok did some more things today. I did a compression test today, both rotors came out at 95. Also I notice how bad the plugs were so i took the ones out of my spare motor, those looked alomost brand new.

I picked up the oil to do the oil change and some gasket maker since i ave a leak in my oil pan.

I also got some pictures of it today, i will get them up as soon as my friend emails them to me.

I need to get a hold of a fan shroud for it, but I think i'm going to go with a electric fan any ways.

Thanks about the tag, i haven't figure out the one for the RX-7 yet but I was thinking of either going with:

MUUHAHAA sinilar to the one on the Subaru
RX-SE7EN
POTATOE

Not really sure yet though.

Got some more done to the car, got some tires put on it today. No i need to get the headlight fixed and window and It should be ready for the street.

The POTATOE I heard from watching an Initial D video, they were calling the RX-7s that and since then I have always called RX-7s that.

I'm going tomorow to pick up a headlight, fender, bumper and window. I'm going to have to wait off on the hood though.
