Full FD3 rebuild

Hi there i am currently rebuilding my RX7 , the whole thing from the ground up with the highest spec parts i can get hold of in the UK. Doesnt need it but i want it to be the best in UK as the cars only got 16k original milage. Ive just finished Stage 1, Next will be stage 2 (body work) and Stage 3 (Engine)

http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/i...000/Stage%201/

If you go to the sub albums at the top left there is lots of folders where i have broke the build down and lots of pics. ( i have not wrote up on the pictures yet on what ive done in every picture and the mods and how too etc)

let me know what you guys think, thanks

Lee

it looks like the parts weren't prep'ed very well before they were painted. the paint looks really thick in some areas and doesn't even cover in others.

also, red brake shields are a little too much IMO....

Argghhhh theres always one. Nope its Hammerite metal finish, doesnt need prep. it luks thick cos it is thick its had three coats! Basically English Weather + lots of rain = Complete weather sealed (its like galvanizing your whole car)
