Looking good for real Chino, and jap71rx2 these older Rotarys are getting more rare every year here in the USA, unlike AUSI they are on every corner like hookers LOL!!! Just kidding mate, but on the real, here in the USA it's the passion that we have for these cars that makes it all worth it at the end of the project!!!

I've seen about 5 bodies and of course over 3-4 gran $$$$ and when I check check for trouble area yep no good , or no floor or good in one area and bad in another area or no tittle or bill of sale etc.. Trust me I've tried . And this fabrication job is expensive ****. So if I'm buying a car for 3 gran if I was lucky and I still had to do work on it they may have charged me about another 3-4 gran and they probably won't be as detail to prevent rust like I am. I've gone over Aaron cakes videos may times lol ..
I've spend many many$$$ to get what I need to do this and I'm finally got what I need to do this . Now remember I bought an rx8 rebuild it and pimped it , and no it was not finance so a big chunk hurt my project but no regret . I'm in full throttle on this is awesome to have the equipment this is by far the worst area .
