Decided to keep the polished look instead of painting. I may be an idiot for doing it all by hand but I really like how they’ve turned out.

3 of 4 lips polished, spent way too much time doing that by hand but happy with how they’ve turned out so far.

The most minor of updates but important to me. When I bought my first 88 turbo 2 back in 2003 for 1500 bucks it came with that gold TURBO license plate frame, managed to keep it all these years and finally popped it on. Troubleshooting the stereo, one of my rear speaker amps is broken so have a replacement unit on the way, drivers front speaker is a bit touchy so have to check out the connection a bit more and then also purchased a working antenna motor to swap out.

Somehow my girlfriend doesn’t mind having a living room full of rx-7 parts and 2/3rds of a Vincent motorcycle sitting there.

I still stare at it all the times, it’s amazing how many compliments I get, almost daily in traffic. I love downtown Chicago off Michigan ave so it really does stand out.

The little crack around the radio bothered me and didn’t want everything to look out of place. So new OEM surround, lighter, ash tray, shift surround, and shift boot. Honestly wasn’t THAT expensive so figured it was worth it on this car.

Making progress, need to polish the Lip and then decide on a color. Will either go body-color or a bronze. Any input? I was able to find an example of gold center on arctic silver and didn’t care for it.

Picked up a really cheap set of vert wheels on eBay, and a set of center caps from a member on here. Going to clean them up, polish the lip and I MIGHT paint the mesh Arctic silver.

Started cleaning off the horrid paint. Wheels have no rash at all. The stock wheels are solid but the clear needs to be refinished. I plan on having them refinished and the vert wheels will be a good cheap option in the meantime.

Had a minor crack in the surround, I knew it was coming. New oem replacement is on the way, will probably swap out the faded ash tray for new as well

After the third attempt at finding a stock stereo replacement I located one that works well. The unit I had was shot and was unable to find anyone to attempt to repair it.

Just need to replace the one side of sound deadening that mice got into. Bastards.

Cleaning up the loose ends, replaced battery box lid that was missing, swapped out the rotary shaped oil cap for a stock one. Replaced the broken hood prop latch.

Feels sooo much better now. That could have been bad.
