Another day, another scratch built panel.

Fresh stamped/made panels for the rx7.....i love seeing this stuff too much!

Yeah it’s so refreshing to see a bunch of young guys still using traditional methods - not that you could buy any of these bits anyway.

So we are finally in paint underneath - or more accurately a raptor/bed liner. Next up is flip her back the right way up and sort the corrosion on the lower rear hatch and she’s don’t with metal and onto the spray shop.

Final bit of metalwork done on the bit you do see, the corrosion on the rear hatch caused by the blocked drain holes. Being put on a better trolley next then off next door for paint.



All of the wheels are wearing war sounds so are about to be sent off to a guy I’ve been recommended who can get them back looking mint again but this time with grey centres to match the body.






Need to start blasting all the suspension components ready for paint.

Doors etc all went back on today and they spotted some rot that had slipped through the net along the bottom edge of one of the doors. Replace or repair?

Repair of course.

Now on a better trolley for the spray shop.

I’d replace if you can drop on some doors

[Chud]

Fair enough, I’m happy with how the repair turned out in this case though.

yeah, their work is spot on........ replacing them would just be me taking the lazy way out!
Fantastic work on this car btw
