And some rotary emblems that I got off of eBay. I'm not sure where to put them, im thinking maybe on the fenders instead of the rx7 emblem.or just one of them above one of the tail lights

I forgot to mention that the patch that I previously made was way to thick and couldn't be shaped right with hand tools, I could have used it if I would have used multiple pieces to make it, but I just wanted to use one single piece. So I took a damaged hood that we had laying around the shop and cut the skin offand made my rough patch from that.here it is clamped in and slightly shaped

Here is what it looks like with all of the rusted metal cut out. After talking this picture my phone battery was really low, so I couldn't take any more pictures. I got my patch cut out, I also etch primer ed it so I don't get any rust finger prints on it from touching it while shaping it and installing it, and I got all of my spot welds ground down and cleaned up. When I get into work, I will take some pictures of what I just mentioned. I'll have another update in a few hours

driver side Wheel well is a little worse, the thing I don't get is that on the outside there is no rust at the top, but on the inside there is. It's a good thing I have a big piece of sheet metal
