Norwegian 86 TII
Thank you
I don't plan on big eksterior changes, only a lip, some new wheels, rear diffuser and a long overdue paintjob.
But i don't think that will be this year, first i need to get the car running strong, getting rid of all the rust, dents and change out all the worn out parts, the car have after all done more than 140K(engine rebuild 6k ago).

Started on a sub box today,
Finished box, lacks mounting point, and i will also make a coverup panel to make it look like it could have been stock
But for now it's ugly as sin...
I'm going to buy a 11" Focal 27v2 at some point(wich will be mounted with the magnet in to the box), but for now i made a spacerplate and mounted a old 12" sub i had layin around.

Changed my mind and made new spacers for the old sub so it could be mounted with the magnet in to the box.
painted it black to protect against moisture.
Fits like a glove WHen i buy a new sub it won't build outwards so much.
started on amp and power cap mounting plate

Got the downpipe welded
I'm waiting for a new oil feed line, since the old one had seen better days.
Started on updating the ground points in the engine bay, will need to get some shrinkwrap so i can stop using the tape.

The RX7 will be staying in theis garage while i finish my bachelor degree, so i have the oppurtunity to do a bit more extensive work than i first had planned

Found some more rust, and the worst i've seen on the car so far. Still it's not to bad for a car from 86
And on the bright side, i should become fairly good at welding once i'm done with the rust repair.

I like it, very nice car. Wish I had a base with no sunroof.
However, you are removing all the tar of the inside body, in order to look for rust, but also for weight I assume, yet you install a over the top sound system.
Also, you should have bought your FTPs in Japan, now you basicaly paid shipping and taxes twice, I bet the were therefor very expensive.
Good luck, I'll be following this thread.

I will putting in sound dampening once i'm done welding. This is not a track car, so the 5kg or so i save on not having sound dampening, is not worth it. And the sound system is worth every KG it add's to the car, and it's easily removable for track day's
Finally got time to work a little on the car, installed most of the interior, removed fuel lines and changed fuel filter.
Only got pictures of the interior tho.
(FC guys know why i took this picture)

Made a buttplug for the exhaust, it's only a temporary solution until i can either modify or make a new exhaust.
But the sound is much lower, so it's livable inside the car now, + it's easy to remove for trackdays and general spirited driving
