https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...42325&posted=1 he may still have some sheet metal left..

Anyway Derrick, another thing to think about if you now have two 12s and since I heard they where old or something several posts back would be get 3 8s I'd be the same cone area and I'm sure that you could fit one behind each seat plus one in the middle center firing straight up or aimed anyway you want it.

How bad is it? I could probably do it, even with fiberglass if necessary. Would take a substantial amount of time though.

Hope you Mazdafiends didn't get in too much trouble, no homo!

it look alot worse in person and that is actually after i beat the crap outa it to resemble a shape. the entire limp of the wheel well was pulled out. and the stuff under that bondo is about 1 inch dented in.
i was thinking about cuting the wheel well out to access the quarter and beat it into submission then have the wheel well welded back , do u think that would work?


and what do u guys think about this silver color?

Sweet Satan... that's a lot of work. Step one, chip off that bondo. I'd take a stab at it, if anything it'll be straighter than it was and not have mud clumped to it. But it's not an afternoon job by any means.

i just got all the bondo off i used a chisel and a hammer it was easy since the person who put it on didnt bother to remove the old paint so it just chipped off.

im not sure where to start becasue u can acess the dent from the inside because the inner fender is in the way

Sounds good to me, but I don't make house calls so you'd have to bring it up here. The dents will have to be drilled and pulled out.

Well good luck with the showing us up part, have you autocrossed yet? Gets pretty confusing the first time. I guess I'll check out the damage on Sunday and we'll go from there. Have fun getting that motor in.

Your hatch is going to be on 3 wheels with all that suspension work. Don't flip it over!

its actually pretty suddle its not very stiff theres lots of movement in the springs.. before i replaced the struts with new ones i tried to get it to spin out or oversteer or even understeer in a parkinglot and i couldnt get it to it held pretty good never broke traction, i could push it to hard though i kept getting choked by all the smoke from the bad rings

Hopefully it'll still pass tech. They don't seem to care about smoke though, only little stuff like positive battery terminal covers.
