Well, this build thread is not for the faint of heart, or apparently those with no patience as it has taken me over three years to begin to document it as I took a one only car and upgraded it a bunch to current standards. Ouch.

Well guys,

Years ago, I got the hankering to create a first generation convertible and worked on a plan on and off for awhile, before discovering these boards and spending hours reading Zach's 56k no way Pacific Avatar car thread - and realizing that they were already out there. I never thought i would find one for myself.

Here is the Mariah web site photos of my car, wayyyyyyy before I got it and started upgrading it and making it unrecognizable - oops, started to spill the beans

This build thread is a restart of the thread on this car I started about 3 years ago but hopefully with a more concise path, and finally, with a collection of build pictures.

A few of the guys will hate me for changing the car from original, but hey, what's original about a wide body kit on an aftermarket convertible conversion of a 1st gen rx7 that was never produced! Sounds custom to me.....

I'd rather have my poor man's version of a supercar - rx7 style - so that's what i am building.

Cheers, cliff

 

Here's the earliest pics I could find of my car at 7-stock.
I think that is Nick of Rotary engineering - Fast Freddies in the hat and bell bottoms?

 

I posted this one on another thread but it one of my faves - from an article in Rotary Rocket magazine, I believe.

 

yep,
couldn't do it ...
I have got the pictures ready but I can not leave the original thread.
So, back we go .....
Cheers,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 

so do you currently own the vehicle in the pictue from 7 stock and from the ad? do you have any current pics to share?

 

Yes, I currently own that car. Thanks for asking.
Though I wonder - it has been at the mechanics for most of the last 5 years.
It has another thread "Ultima Pacific Avatar conversion is alive" where i am just posting pictures. Working my way to current from 2007 !!!
Enjoy! cliff
