Bought the car about 2 months ago for $200 with the plans to slowly make it into a gutted street/drift car.its a 1980 and had 234,000 km on it.my budget for the car is $3000.i will be posting progress along with the prices it has cost me so far.

 

Picked up this beauty for 200 bucks,she has some rust on rear fender wells but over all in great condition




Here is the front view of her! Lookin mean on them tiny rims hahaha

 

Decided to strip all the interior out(everything!)and start from scratch.chipped of detaining and grinded to bare metal through out the inside of the car




Some people might get all but hurt about this but I sprayed bed liner on instead of paint.i love the look and texture of it!it cost me $100

 

That's alot of progress on a short time span and bed liner is always good

 

Bit more progress on the rx7.will post more when I can







Seat mounted in




Dash installed




Battery mounted behind drivers seat

 

Looks awesome man! I especially like the dash. nice work!

 

tell us more about the dash...that looks great!

 

Yes! Dash looks awesome. I can't believe that car doesn't have a bunch of rust. Do they not use salt in the winters up there? I know in some places in the US it's too cold for salt so they use sand, but still. Nice, relatively rust free car you have there!

 

I found a peice of scrap metal at my dads work and it was 6 ft long and already was bent at a 90.so I measured and started jigsawing.at first I painted it alluminum color but wasn't happy with the finished product.so I was in Canadian tire and seen a roll of 3m carbon fibre wrap and gold trim witch cost me $60.the gauges are Equis and cost me 120 and the ignition switch button panel cost 30 bucks on sale at princess auto.all together it cost me 220 so far for the dash work

 

I also just got my ebrake in the mail today.paid $30 for it!

 

Interesting, care to share the link?

 

A buddy of mine bought it for 60 a couple months back and decided to go for a different one,so I bought it off him for 30 shipped

 

Ow oke, lucky bastard
