Need some tips on restoring floor panels and dash for my 79 SA
This is the drivers side
This is the passenger side
My sweet dash!
This is the guy that I bought the car off invention for the compartments behind the seat.
K theres pictures of the start of my project. I have had this car for about 7 months and I really havent had much time to work on her this winter plus my garage is not heated. but next week I'm getting a heater up and that beast! but yesterday I ripped the interior appart so I could get this part ready and perfect before I work on much else on the car.
I bought this car purely for a project I knew when I bought it the engine wasnt the best and it was gonna need alot of work but the body is in tip top shape, only rust anywhere on the car is right here. the sunroof is not attached and the seals are gone so there has been water leaking in on the drivers side mainly. I just need your suggestions. I have a heavy duty meg welder for building trailers but I'm thinking about getting a lower powerd one for thin metal. As well I wanna use this car for a drag car or a track car. seeing as I cant drive this as fast as I would like around town, so I would like to build a roll cage in the car. ang either replace that dash or rip it out and custom make one with my shift light and gages in it. Any suggestions on making a a roll cage without a bar bender. and on racing buckets that will fit in a 79 RX-7
Ultimately I would like to change the engine to either a 13B single turbo or a supercharged small block 305 V8. But thats far off in the future and I would like to get the 12A that is in it running, theres a problem with the carb right now, I took the carb off and cleaned it back in the summer, and it actually idols at 6000RPM, I found out from hanes manual that its because I didnt mesuare the fast idol before I put it back on. Plus I didnt attach the hot start to the carb when we were putting it on so I have to take it off anyway. Once that is done I can see where I'm at in terms of driving it wise. I drove it 20kph when the carb was dirty, it would bog out going any faster. If you have any suggestions on buying a new carb that would be nice. as well I need some suggestions on some good sound systems and ways to lay it out in the car.
But if you know how to fix the floor and what to use or where to get a whole floor panel please let me know! thanks for reading my long post!!
