Rx7 first custom build
Hey .. well im new to the forum so im just trying to get some opinions.
I want to rebuild a rx7 3rd gen from the back and front clips that i have, some may say i can buy a shell, but im in the caribbean and full rx7 shells are hard to come by, and i cant import one because of import laws of this damn country ... any whoo i was thinking to just pay a body shop to weld the clips together and when they are done just do a neat tube frame inside (i want to use it as a daily driver) so the piping cant be all over the place like a normal tube chassis ... i was more thinking along the lines of doing the perimeter of the shell and weling to the frame itslef and the tube will run up the A pillar and down the back.. any opinions or comments are accepted .. im sorry if this is a noob question but this is a project i really want to do
<below is a pic of the back clip before i bought it>
sorry for the long wordy post
any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated!
