I keep changing my mind ,, lol but I was thinking white with black flares or a nice pearl orange with black flares .. Is hard my cousin who is painting it always talking about new colors coming out
I have done more work , bought me a larger sand blaster and more tools I'm looking to buy a band saw to speed up process . I bought a ppg a proxy sealer to seal inner fender area bu been busy with other little project and family . But soon more pictures will come

 

wow dude just joined thie forum and stumbled on this straight away , great work and good to see your getting your hands dirty yourself , im starting on my ground up resto of my rx3 mid next year , i dont have the skills to do it myself so massive kudos to you

 

So much welding, so much grinding. Glad I'm not back into that for a while...

Run the sanding disc briefly over the entire patch panel before taking pictures. Shows up in the camera so much better.

 

THANKS for the tip. I always go back to your videos. Is only reason I was able to get this project rolling. It's been about 3 months I don't touch it. I been buying more tools and still need to buy a band saw to make it easier im taking way to long fabricating small pieces with cut off wheel, grinder,dremmel, cutting snips wow . plus been busy with other projects and my brothers cars always needing something done. Now I just purchased a 1st Gen Turbo from my couisn he sold it to me cheap so he can focus on his RX2 . So now I got that going and doing some Small upgrades On my RX8 thats taking my money to buy more tools . But i may start in August again when wife starts 1st shift again , That will make it easier for me to focus on car instead of kids a few days out of the week.

The worst part for me is the front end I think once i get that done everything will go smoothly.

 

that pearl orange sounds sick! let us know when you make the choice. keep up the good work

 

I been so busy and with family and other projects and work I didn't have time to work on my Project . Well my son is now 15 and he been working and doing good in sport and wanting a car next year I gave him a choice . Work on my Rx-3 and once he is done with my Rx-3 project and helping me I'll give him the Rx-8 . Well then he ask me how much he will need to give me .? He knows I don't give **** away he works I he gets and he knows I'm a business man so he knows I'm not lying so this project is moving along while I work on my rx-7 . Some recent pictures .

 

 

Next challenge , weld primer , weld it some por15 and next rust stop .

 

I put por15 over it didn't have rattle can primer and I didnt want to use my good PPG sealer since I want to use it all at once .

 

More sheet metal work not perfect but there's no rust 😁.

 

This one looks kinda shitty but it did the job I stil got to Grind but leaving all grinding for one day I hate grinding .

 

Coming along nicely. Rust repair is the worst part. But when it's done, the actual fun starts.

 

Ps. Get a cheap harbor freight band saw. They are always on sale for $200. Just put a good blade on it and it will do nicely for your intended purposes. You'll save hours on metal cutting. Plus, no sparks, loud cut off wheel, annoying compressor, ect.
