SC Inside Jobs

Hello All,
I have a 93 FD that i love and dont get to play with enough on account of overtime at work and 2 toddlers at home. Not much garage time for the big projects I want to attack on the car. But I'm trying to think of quick-ish little projects I can attack when I have an hour here or there or something I could pull off the car and work on inside the house while still being present for my family. Shoot me some thread links or project ideas please! I have access to a high end 3d printer but cant really think of anything to tinker with.
Thanks yall

It’s an older thread but might give you some ideas. Maybe focus on improving the little things instead of performance mods. ——-> https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-gen-general-discussion-322/singer-rx-7-refined-1074621/

Sites like Garage Alpha have a lot of little tasteful things for the car that are typically P n P and don’t take a lot of time. One example…

My car use to be work therapy.

Exactly! its LS swapped and starts up on a dime and runs decent. Mainly looking for small detail projects like the various cupholder mods and such. If I had the time and money itd be stripped down and i'd be going full autist on it but for now, looking to do quick and cheap-ish quality of life/cosmetic mods. Thanks for the links!

Door lock cylinder shutters, if they are missing/crumbled.

Put JDM seats in the rear and take your kids for a ride.

Taking off exterior plastics and refurbishing? I am taking off the windshield cowling and then the black plastics around the headlights which are all extremely faded and in need of attention. Prep and repaint them so they are nice and black again.

Maybe taking out CPU #2 for various systems and updating the caps in that to prevent future issues?

Rebuilding stereo components?
