Cym Re-Build Thread
 

So I assume most of you know that I wrecked my car. Or as some of you call it "Apon'd Out."


Well after months of searching for a rhd shell or roller, I've finally found one!

I'll be starting with the "Re-build" next weekend and I'll have a full thread dedicated to my part out. Both cars are RHD so keep that in mind when asking for parts. PM me if you want anything during the whole process. This will take me the rest of summer and all of winter to do so time to save up for the parts you want! lol

Anyway for right now I'll just post some before and after "apon outing" pics and pics of the roller.

STAY TUNED FOR BUILD PICS!

Looks like you're off to a good start Max. Good luck with the project. Did you get the roller from a place in Cincy?

Nope. Toronto. Awaiting shipping. I feel like a little girl getting a pony! lol

I was like that doesn't look that bad. Theeeen I saw the interior pics.

yeah I thought the same thing before we tore into her. The body is badly buckled. :(

please, this time no whale tail wings - that one you had was way too big! :lol:

LOL Shine duck lip spoiler for the rebuild. Don't you worry.

yeah you did aponOUT!!!

nice roller though. should be a good transplant. also you can reuse those red badges and it won't look like mcdonalds! ;)

haha no good luck though. looking forward to seeing the (re)build.

awesome.. glad you got a roller .. keep me posted

Good deal...

Glad to hear your rebuilding another one...

I Heart Sluts... Awesome, just transplant that sticker and call it a day.



GL with the build. Hopefully we can get the one we are working on a good motor to get it finished and back on the road.

:scratch: huh? I no comprehend.

:lol: AponOUT!?

Seriously though, good luck with the new build. Looking forward to seeing progress pics and hopefully no more I <3 dudes stickers.

Wow, thats pretty twisted up! Glad to see that you are rebuilding it! Are all of your wheels still good?

That was a beautiful yellow, still very clean and shiny. What a shame. Are you swapping the LHD parts over?

what LH parts? the original was RH as well. ;)

She was a beauty. Are you going to spray the SSM FD sunburst yellow too? (I presume its sunburst, as it doesn't look like CYM?)

Good luck with it!

- Wheels are good, the lips are just rashed up. Nothing a good refinishing won't fix.

- Both cars are rhd so no need to convert anything.

-Yes I'll be painting the SSM Sunburst Yellow (Good eye ;) most people just call it CYM). Full acid dip and restoration. Should be extra clean when done. **crosses fingers**

Thanks!

awesome

if you dont mind me asking, how did you crash?

and gl on the build

Ripping thru an S curve with my friend in his Mazdaspeed 3 behind me. He was right behind me and said that he was at a comfortable speed to take the corner and the rx7 can out handle the fwd MS3.. anyway he said my ass just went out. I think I hit a patch of gravel and lost traction. I drifted and ended up over correcting and doing a 180 and ending up in the ditch. Bad times :(

good stuff man, cant wait to see how it turns out

i hope you stay motivated and dont ditch this half way through

MAX!!! does this mean your coming to Seven stock???? *crosses fingers*

Well first of all, I'm not going to rush it so the final car will not be complete until next summer. I'm Shooting for March 2011.
As for seven stock.. I've been thinking about it, but I'd only go if I find someone with a trailer since that would be a shit ton of miles to put on my "just rebuilt," "reliable" rx7. lol.

Deals Gap for sure though!

This may have already been discussed, but how do you find these RHD RX-7's? Is it cheaper to get them from Canada than from Japan? Is the cost ridiculous to do this?

Sad to see the wreck pictures, but the replacement looks very nice. Good luck.
