Restoration DONE! Finally! *PICS*

Hey guys,

Well first off we all know that a project like this is never done. I have a few more things to work on, but I am officially calling the restoration portion of the project finished.

Here is the before and after. I deliberately re-created the original photo of my car because I thought it would be pretty cool. You can see below the two pictures that I attempted to make as identical as possible. I also have included some random shots of the car. If anyone wants wallpaper size let me know. I can post some higher res pics if anyone wants 'em. I will be posting more pics soon along with some videos, but I'm kinda in a hurry right now. I will say one thing. It feels great to finally be driving the seven...

I came, I saw, I conquered....

Jamie

Perfect color, perfect tires, perfect wheels. You have been faithful to the RX-7 legend. Interior photos and what's under the hood?

Nice Job! White isn't my favorite color, but still looks good - very clean. What have you done with the engine/drivetrain? I can't wait until the day that I make that same post...sigh...

thats sexy!! i remember the first day i saw my car white. It was the day i got back home from my military training. My old 7 was originally silver w dings and dents. The day i saw it white n clean was the day i appreciated my 7 a whole lot more. take care of that baby and she'll take care of you. good job!!
