Very nice job, looking better. Enjoy the car.

 

i will take more pics of the 10AE and the TII today and post them up here in this thread!

 

that black t2 looks familiar

 

did you also own that black TII??

 

yeah man. im the one that sold it to that kid in KY (it was running fine when i sold it). i am the one who you got the driveshaft from in columbus.

 

oh, ok cool! the TII runs great. needs a turbo something fierce. boost gauge does not work(powers up but does not move under boost), needs a driver's side a-pillar plastic, door panels(holes from cheapo speakers), and an antenna. other than that, i just did brakes all around, with new calipers and pads up front, and i rebuilt the rear calipers and installed new pads. driveshaft you sold me works great. i'm pleased with the car.

 

sounds good! im glad you fixed it up

 

once i get this under hood sound deadening i'll be in business there

 

Very impressive work. I'm truly envious of what you have done with that 10th. It's definitely better to keep it bone stock. I want one...

 

Damn that 10AE was rough, so sad seeing such a rare car in that kind of shape. Great job bringing it back though. There's a 10AE for $3k in my city, I wish I could pick it up

 

Good to see someone took on the project to restore a 10th ae to original form.

Any pics of the new like looking underbody? I might be doing this within the next couple months. What did you use? I'm thinking rock guard.

 

thank you guys for the continued compliments. it really means a lot to me. i put a lot of hard work and time and money into the car. no pics of the underbody yet. the car is garaged for the winter. i took the underbody down to bare metal in any spot that was rusted. fixed any holes and if there was just pitting, i coated it with a rust preventative treatment, and hit the area with zinc rich primer and then 3M green can undercoating. here is an example of the undercoating's texture as used on another RX-7 restoration of mine (thread to the restoration is here: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-general-discussion-207/my-85-s-restoration-pics-751475/)

 

^^ Sweet thanks.

 

any time. if you need any advice on using an undercoating or a particular undercoating feel free to ask.

 

as the weather warms up here, i plan on taking the car out of storage and putting some miles on it. i'll post some more recent pic sof it then. i'm hoping for good weather next weekend so that i can take the car out and enjoy it.

 

very nice work

 

one from last year and more to come within the next few weeks. i've been buying some new oem parts for the car. just waiting to go snag it out of my storage garage.

 

excellent work! I'd love to get AE rims for my vert - but I think I would have to do at the very least a TII swap first so it would be "worthy" ;-) Keep us posted and keep posting pics!

 

wow, I love the stock looking T2, the rims are actually still shiny!!

I think we found the next Kevin Landers!!

 

some people were asking to see more pics of the car so i took a few pics. unfortunatly the car is confined to the garage and due to the rain we're having today, i won't pull the car out of the garage so no good exterior pics unfortunatly. i'm just picky and don't drive the 10AE in the rain. at any rate, here are a few pics. dont't mind the dirty interior. apparently i didnt vacuum the interior before i put the car away last november:

 

Just great dude. I think you should get the seats recovered with OEM leather if possible.

 

i've been trying to track down some oem leather covers. i would LOVE to get the seats redone in their original covers. i'm just going to have to look in my 88 parts manual for the corresponding part numbers.

 

Either way it still looks great, I admire your dedication and beliefs. I would never in a million years part out a TII or 10th AE I would save them if possible.

 

figured i'd post up some more pics tonight. i've been putting a lot of work into its restoration.

 

well, i replaced quite a few nasty looking bolts in the engine bay with nice oem cadmium plated bolts i had laying around. i also installed the lower battery box (i don't have a lid), the battery hold down, and tossed in the oem floor mats. next, i want to replace the exhaust system with an oe unit. its just rotten..
