Last few for tonight, Really made the car look mean. For those interested they are off a lincoln Towncar or continental. Another great J-yard set of wheels made by speedline.

Got my pulley today, also found a T2 hood locally! Needs some bodywork, but for $50 I am pleased. I was about to go frontmount, really didnt want to considering my hood is steel, so I was glad to find a T2 hood.

Thanks! She's coming along as planned. I hope to get the engine bay painted this weekend. I guess I should remove the engine and get sanding. Thank goodness for 4 day weekends.

Well I spent a little time yesterday removing the old cut harness, flywheel and clutch, pretty much ready to drop in. I have decided to run PS/A/C, I am also going Frontmount.....

Few updates- I decided not to go with the Frontmount, it was going to require that i run no A/C, in TN it is needed (so damn hot/humid) so I am back to topmount. I seperated the oil/fuel lines from the vac rack and bought a set of street wheels (18x9)...

Got a little bit of work done in the engine bay this weekend. Just a few things left to remove on the drivers side, then finish the base coat, everything removed will be painted black, the engine bay will be white as you can tell..

Great, now I have an engine bay inferiority complex to go along with my automatic transmission feelings of inadequacy.
I'm glad you're in Tennessee, 'cause I'd be embarrassed to pop my hood if you were in the neighborhood.
At least I can put my top down if I want. :-p
Keep up the good work and I guess, keep raising the bar too!
Aloha,

I've had a chance to think about things and I've decided that since I'm only on my 2nd RX-7 and not my 27th, I'm going to abandon my jealousy and instead look upon your build as an inspiration.
Aloha and Mahalo,

LOL.. Not a bad way to look at it. When I was early in the 7's all I cared about was getting the car running, and didnt care what the hell it looked like.. Several of mine sported dents, different colored panels ect... Only in the past 5 Years have I really paid attention to detail.. What I am doing in my engine bay an technically be done with the motor in.. Especially if you dont have a/c or PS... Can't wait to put some clear in the base...
