Plans for it?

Hell yah Dave, join the 4 door club. They are getting harder to find than coupes. Car looks great. Let me know if you need any spare parts. I am pretty much turning my car into a drag car, so I have some things. I need a left front outer door handle if you got any spares let me know.

Updates

the car is up and running,put a stock 84 rx7 motor and tran's,had to shorten the shifter on tran's about 4 inches,so it sits in the stock location.let me know what you guy's think.next up is switching out the 2 tone interior for some black interior.

Looks really good Dave. It will look much better inside when you put the black interior in place of the TJ tuck n roll.

Yeah just get the pinstrips painted on IMO. And i think the one thing you need is a grill to complete the body. Congrats on your deal tho!

Hell no, mirrors on the fenders are nasty! There's a reason why no cars in the world have them there anymore.

thank's everybody for the compliments,FelixIsGod29X i do have the grill will be going in this week on my day off.i will probably just do the pin stripe on the car,it seem's to be the better option,also going to be ordering all the emblem's for the car new from phil's rotary in australia.as for putting the fender mirrors,thats just not my style

Try my buddy Gerry for this. Tell him I told you about his shop. He does some great reproduction work.

http://www.lisasdecals.com/page/page/6524199.htm


there are the ones he supplied for my Celica. He's now making RX-3, and REPU for sure. I put him in contact that with a guy that I met at Sevenstock that had a bunch of NOS mazda stripe kits. Hopefully they got something worked out by now.
