New guy in HI

Just wanted to introduce myself. Just picked up my first FD a week ago. Will be spending a lot of time on here trying to clean up someone else's mess that is now my mess. Its a shame so many of these cars have been abused.

How many RX7 in Hawaii? In my visits there I have seen a single FB on the Big Island and a single FC at a Pearl City meet. I spotted several FD in google satellite feeds in junkyards on Oahu, but by the time I got there, the junkyards had been almost totally cleaned out of wrecked cars.

Send us some pictures of the Hawaii scene and good luck restoring your car!

There are not many. I'm on the Big Island (got mine on Oahu) and I know of at least 2 other FD's. Its a pretty quiet island when it comes to cars. I will try and post up some pics soon. Thanks

The paint looks good from this distance but it has lot of orange peel and overspray. Will need to be resprayed I assume.

Great colour for the Hawaii sun. Lots of great locations for pics. Post to the SSM photo thread from time to time.

Lots of fun roads on the Big Island.

Looks amazing! You must be the envy on the island. Did you find it locally or ship it to HI?

Wow, I lived on Oahu for a little over three years and never saw one FD. Although never got to visit the big island.

I will be looking to pick up a 99 spec bumper, wing, and car shop glow tails soon. Is there a preferred vendor for this stuff? I was considering Final Form but wanted to see if there is possibly a better option. Thanks
