Pics of my rx7 damage repair progress
About a month ago, my friend got in an accident in my FD. I brought it into the shop last friday to get the damage repaired and a fresh repaint.

Yup, I let him drive it, 40 seconds later it was wrecked. What's worse was that I was in the car when it happened. For some reason he decided to throw the rear end out around a corner, lost it, and slid into a pole. I'm not going to upgrade the body, because I'm really not a fan of body kits. I wouldn't mind the 99 spec front fascia, but it's pretty pricey. On the plus side, the whole car is getting painted.

Well suffice it to say that he is paying for it and feels terrible about the accident.

Also, the clutch is slipping now, so when I get it back fromt he body shop I will be pulling the motor and tranny, replacing the clutch, regasketing the engine to rid it of oil leaks, ripping out the rat's nest, and going non-sequential.
My work has just begun, but at least it looks pretty.

They are yokahoma paradas. Those wheels and tires are as good as gone, they were on the car when I bought it. I just want to get some stock wheels with 245-45-16s all the way around.

I totally understand your situation bro my car got wrecked and I"m in the progress of saving money for the repair. The only worse part is my friend's friend wrecked while driving it without my permission and you know what else to top it off? He isn't paying for any of the damage! After I get it fixed if any of the other 7 enthusiest would like to help me kick his *** I would be happy and my 7s soul will be at ease.
