Rx7 Restoraton (Lots of Pics)
What's up guys, I had an account on here a while ago and forgot the password and my email so I was kinda SOL, and decided to make another account. Well I bought my Rx7 1.5 years ago and did a semi restoration over the next 6 months, and here is some of the pics. All bodywork, including paint was done by myself!

When I first got it






The car getting sealed




The car getting painted




After the clear coat dried and masking was taken off

Thanks for the complimants guys. Sorry I haven't posted any more updates, but I was having trouble loging in (but I got that sorted out). Now for the pics.

The masking taken off


The interior coming together



Completed!!



This is the best pic of the completed car that I have, unfortunantley at the time this picture was taken the car had broken down and was being towed back to my house to be fixed.

What year is it. I just picked up a red 1985 GS. My interior looks a little different. I love the Dash. What color did you paint it?
