Nice man... how much would you charge for something like that?

just out of curiosity. and what blue is it?




I guess I should just really post whats on the rx7club.com forum everywhere else i post. Anyways noramlly for that exact job, molding sideskirts and bumper in, installing a new front bumper, stripping the panels off the doors and hatch, gutting the engine bay and taking out the entire engine bay and removing the enigine. sealing the car if white ko seal, Painting the car with with 3 diffrent colors (kandy is the third color), adding flake using du pont chroma clear (360 dolars for 1 gallon one of the best clears you can get) I would say 4000-5000 depending on exsisting damage and what not. What makes it so expensive is simply the engine bay, that is the most labor intensive part of the entire car. If you disclude it you save yourself 1000 dollars. But right now my shop is runnign a special for the holidays to the RX-7 community so if your intrested hit the link I posted.
