Re: What I've done to my car this week!

It's been a few weeks but it's worth the wait! She's back to her original Sonic Bronze colour and looking really special. 20220710_103429.jpg No Plate.jpg 20220710_103819.jpg She's with the upholsterer where they are working on sound deadening and getting the seats ready. We chose a vinyl as close a...

More photos from the painters. Body is pretty naked now, steel work looks great though.

Re: What I've done to my car this week!

Last 2 weekends I've been waking our 1979 build from a 4 year sleep. New battery, oil and fuel, she started first time. Next got her a service including replacing the coolant. Since Friday she has been up on a stand getting all new bushings, shocks, springs and other suspension components. Can't wa...

Car is at the motor trimmer this week, total interior strip down including the dash that I was unable to do. Dash is heading to a company called "the dash doctor" to be renewed.

$1000 (Canadian) 1983 RX7 project car

rbld Hey All, I stumbled across this project on You Tube owned by a pretty funny Canadian Giles Vessey. He has 7 episodes up at the moment (March 2022) and they are really interesting.
