New to the thread but been utilizing for years.

Hello everyone, new to the thread but fairly familiar with the platform, been utilizing this tool for years while building my car.

Long story short, I have joined because a fab shop out of state screwed me over and has forced me to make the tough decision of parting the car out. I will be following this intro post up with an immediate marketplace post with countless parts available.

Sorry to hear about getting the buisness from the shop. Perhaps a forum member could help? From the time I have been back on-site since mid-summer, RX8's have not been a terribly common sight. Best of luck with the sale or otherwise.

I am really liking the green on that car. If I ever have the time and money I would like to get my 87 GXL painted, Shade Green. When a third gen was still in the cards before the price hike, I found a perfect green one online. Thinking I could save some cash and buy one later, the prices went up and never saw another green one again. Perhaps not a stock color?
