Thanks for the compliment!

Here's a quick shot of the engine bay...I really like how the strut brace plaque turned out. I'll be mounting radiator next and building the heat shields.

Hahaha... I had second thoughts about posting a supercharged V8 in this thread.😬 But I gotta admit, this beast is soooo much fun to drive, looks amazing and sounds so damn good. Finally a car I can get excited about again.

Awesome F-Type! I had one for a couple of weeks for a company vehicle when my XF was in for service and it was fun! Was not an R though!

It's the Improved Racing brace. You can order with a master cylinder brace as well. I requested they make the plaque with the "RX-7" logo. I had a guy design the file for me.

Wow I never thought I'd find myself a few years into this build and STILL not finished. I mean I used to see those other build threads in the same loooong process and wonder HOW can it possibly take so long?? Well here I am... crazy how life happens!! The good news is, I'll never give up. Gonna focus on finishing up soon and will start posting up some more progress in the next few weeks/months.

Thanks again for all your interest everyone!
