Hummm, I'll get some more pictures of the car up in a while, but right now she is stripped bare, getty ready to be painted. I'm gonna have the engine bay/all interior rhino lined, and the rest of the car is going to get painted a low gloss satin black, or a dark green.



Should look pretty good, but right now hte car looks sort of like an elcamino!!!

And what we're shooting for:

^without the ricer wheels...





And here is something really sweet that we put in the car (mostly my brother.) This is a first along with the 7MGTE swap, but we have put a dash out of a 1991 300ZX into the car! Here are the pictures:

And as of now, the dash is fully mounted, and in! It's a huge improvment over the nasty old stock RX-7 dash... Or at least I think it is.

Are you going to make your own shifter so you don't bust your knuckles when going into 1st 3rd and 5th?

No, it has about a 1/4" of clearance from that piece of plastic, and it leans back.... I may take a torch to it, and bend it back a little, but there isn't really a need to. It doesn't hit anything.





Well here is pictures of the car primered:

It should be painted pretty soon, I'm going to go with a low gloss/flat black.
