damn thats a nice paint job

manatecu,
On that front clip spoiler you have. Would that fit on a stock front end? Basically the same as a 99 spoiler with a few adjustments? Thanks, Joseph |
jim is that color a striagth blue or does it have purple in it. it looks great any ways.

:drool: Man that is a very good paint job. Whoever buys that FD will never know the difference. That would scared the hell out of me to see my car like that. Good choice on the color. As for the original thread starter...nice little combo you've got going there. I'm not such a big fan of the front end, but the hood/color/ and definately my personal favorite of the wheels looks very good. Make sure to get some pictures up when it's all done.

I would love to have been able to take mine down to nothing but metal and paint....One day....One day...
Very nice Jim. Shawn |
oh yeah shawnk. i was wonderign who makes your wheels because i am lookign for a nice 5 spoke and cant find much that i like.

Originally posted by bigmack000 jim is that color a striagth blue or does it have purple in it. it looks great any ways. I had a deposit on an EBM '02 Z06, but found a Torch Red '02 out of state for about $5k less and ended up buying that one instead. Since I liked the EBM so much, I decided to paint the RX-7 that color. |

Nice. I like the whole set up. My car has been repainted but the red they used is a little off from the original red. Im hoping one day to have it painted Guards red. Looking forward to see pic of your FD when finished.

WOW jimlab.... thats all i can say. how much did this cost you? im assuming you pulled everyhting out yourself and just had them paint it. my donor car had an engine fire and i want to change colors, but i dont think i can afford it al at once. i need to focus on getting the 20b mounted and running!! right now the engine compartment is completely stripped. my question to you is (or anyone else for that matter) what do you think my best approach should be to painting the car. my plan was to pull the fenders.... have a shop paint the engine compartment and all of the surrounding frame (in 99 IBM blue)... and then put all the siiver pannels back on. then get the engine mounted and running in the fresh engine compartment. later when i have more $ and time have the rest of the car painted to match the engine compartment..... does this seem like a reasonable plan? would you take a different approach? (remember that i have limited assets and getting the motor in and running is top on the list). i have to make all these decisions soon cause the ball has already started rolling :biggrin: heath
PS off the top of your head, very rough estimate, how much would a decent shop charge to prep a burnt engine compartment, and paint it and the surrounding frame? |

My only advice is to make sure the color you pick is absolutely the one you want, or you'll end up doing it all over again.

oh, well everything has to be replaced, but luckily Dcrosby crashed his car, and i bought all the parts i needed off of his car. basically i can do most of the work besides prep and painting the engine compartment, and towing will be free for me (thanks AAA platinum coverage!). stripping down the car is actually not that bad.... i basically stripped Dcrosbys entire car in 1 day.... (engine/tranny/seats were already out). i can get the entire front half of the car ready to go but, ill have to leave all the prep work to them, as well as the painting.
