That looks pretty decent. What are your plans for the car?

Began cleaning engine bay in preparation for running all new vac tube and cooling lines

Scaling and shining the exhaust tips back to life. They're connected to a 2.5" catless exhaust with glasspacks from rx7specialties. Only thing yet to do is header

Discovered rear axles were brand new when car was parked. Front bearings are in good shape too. Got diff and tranny oils changed while waiting for parts

Calipers cleaned and painted. Rotors will be back from machinist later this week.

Little more sanding to do, and then this door is ready for primer

Waiting on parts, so started on body work

Door bumper was warped from the sun, and discovered some cancer after removing it.

After a quick bath when I first got it home from its ten year resting place in the bush

Tank was surprisingly clean

Fuel pump was expected to be rotted after ten years. What a pleasant surprise this was.

I'd love to show you, but every time I try to upload my pics of project so far I get nowhere. This was supposed to be a series of pics, but it only uploaded the one from somewhere in the middle. So I give up
