revamping a NW RX7 NO 56k...but who still has 56K

so little story.
about a year and a half ago my engine let go.
fast forward to last march wheni got the rebuild in and running and everything was good.
just under 2 months later and about 3400miles later i became the meat in a collision sandwich which totalled my fc.
fast forward to this month, thanks to Endneu913 and TOOSHORT_88 i have a uni body and a place to do the swap at.
well to start off we stripped it all down and go it all nice and TOOSHORT_88 did an AMAZING job at painting the bay.
which i unfortunatly dont have pics of right at this moment.
and now i'll let the pictures do the work.

new and old

new bay painted

about two hours in


grae tranny surfing


engine and tranny out

lol actually grae is normally the one who is way more focused about it. right before the engine was in i was using thew clutch fan as a captians wheel.

and yeah too short did an AMAZING job at painting the bay. especially when you consider where he did it and everything.

what sad is when i blew that motor and was in the process of rebuilding it and putting it back in then all of it just sat there. and you have graes number lol next is the rest of the engine bay stuff and the interior
