Is this just a show car or do you drive it?

 

yes i drive it!!. not every day but if the weather is good i take it out.

 

you have my full respect! Great job

 

I see you had plenty of money just waiting to be spent. I like the colors and how you carried them into the interior.

 

when i go back to the uk.... can i give you a call and will you let me chill in your car for a second?
i wish i could do that kinda **** to my car man.

 

why for sale ? it's so great ! i wish i could buy it... but i would have to sell mine then...

looks good, i dont think the wheels fit the car though.

 

Amazing work.

I was always of the opinion that if one was going to install the VS Fortune kit, you would also have to address everything else in the car in order to match the exotic look of the body kit. You, my friend, have done that. Kudos.

 

Ohhhhhh, COOL

 

uhhhhhh duhhdamn thats sexy, i always like to see people with fortune kits that get creative with the colors and dont go tokyo drift, makes the car stand out more

 

damn dude that car is amazing, good work. i wish i had some extra cash to get that kit.

 

gorgeous...i would be scared to drive it with other idiots on the road with that much invested..but hey if you had the $ to mod it you have the $ to fix so hats off to yea..you my friend are a baller

 

it looks awesome man!
thats probably the most tastefully done Fortune kit ive seen!
grats on the awesome job!

 

Looks great. I really like what you have done to the interior. How about some engine pics!

 

only because you asked I will tell you what I think. Otherwise I would just keep my mouth shut.

Love the interior, looks classy. On the exterior I like the color combo that you went with but I’m not a fan of the fortune kit. Sorry, though it does have supercar “qualities” one can still tell that it’s a kit and IMO it cheapens the whole effect. I’m not a purist but this kit is too far out for me. But it’s not my car, so as long as you are happy with it that's all matters.

By the looks of it the work done on the car is phenomenal and I can certainly appreciate that. Congratulations

 

looks great bro

 

******* amazing!

 

cheers everyone. glad you like it. as someone noticed it is for sale.

 

wow not bad for 10 months of work. whatever your job is, i want it it, if it can finance a well built fortune rx7 lol.

 

Looks pretty darn good in white if i must say.

 

Very nice, looks like a lot of craftsmanship went into it.

I'm still waiting for somebody to 1) shave the faux rivet heads (i know the meaning behind them, but I still think it takes away from the car) and misc edges 2) ditch the spoiler and 3) keep the stock hatch. IMveryHO, it would make the car look much nicer.

Looks very nice though, terrific job!

 

looks great.

where's the engine pic?? i assume "single turbo showcar!" would have the engine bay pic... =P

 

i have a couple of pics. the bay is now black. not blue. these were taken before the spray!
