Body and Paint work

Hey rx7guy, forgot to give you the info for Jeff Brown last night. His business is Custome Paint and Bodyworks, you can call him at 919-550-7409. Next drive-n Ray should be there with his newly painted FC and you can see some of jeff's latest body work and paint.

Loved your RX8, especially the interior layout with the red/black and silver. Those are the colors I'm using on my FC and I'd like to do a version of your interior on my FC as I redo the interior.

Thanks for coming out and we're all lookin' forward to seeing the FD after you can get it inspected.

Bert

Here are the pictures I got of the car. It looks to be in pretty rough shape inside and the engine compartment didn't look very fresh either:

Bert,
Where were these pics taken again? I see something in the background you may not have spotted, a very oldschool rotary!!! I may have to pay the man a visit. Carl

This is a transmission shop at 4001 New Hope Church Road. You're right I didn't see another rotary there.

This is nuts. Raleigh needs it's own sub forum under SE. We keep posting on the same thread for different topics.

Yep, REPU's (Rotary Engine Pickup Truck) are hard to find these days, at least in solid condition. Im going to have to go out and take a look at it if it is OK. Anyone know any information about it, for sale?

The TII is an alright shell for a rebuild. I also spotted the REPU, I know some guys that would kill for one, but I don't think they can handle anyother projects right now.

I know nothing, nothing! I'm just the photographer and was doing the guy from Maryland a favor. As far as I know his dad runs the shop and probably has all the details. I have all I can do to get ready for Deals Gap and keep you guys coming to the drive-ins. As far as the rest of the rotary world you're on your own.

I guess I forgot to mention it in all the excitement about the REPU that I posted pics of Saturday's Drive-In on the Drive-Ins in March thread. Take a look at what you missed.

Sorry, it was too dark by the time you arrived. Its a beautiful car and I know everyone will be impressed with it if its still running at the next Drive-In. It was worth the $3.00 charge to see under the hood! nice work.

I MISSED JOSH'S FD??!?!?! *SNIFFLE* NOOOO! *POUTY FACE!*

I got to sit in a Supra Saturday (that was SO exciting). I sooooo wanna sit in the driver's seat of an FD... mmmmmmmmmmm I get the pleasure of driving an FC, I wanna get all cozy in an FD. Yum. Oh yeah... and Josh, just so the guys don't make any comments, I'm 19... so I am not jailbait. HAHA.

My A-spec GT35R kit is finally going to arriving today after a 2+ month wait. Its cool though, the guys at A-spec said they were sorry for the wait and gave me a couple little goodies (like cone air filter, not like I need it but its the thought that counts), and half off my ceramic coating charges. Vmount should be in later this week, at which I will have all the parts necessary to put the car back together. Anyone know of a good place to get your oil coolers refurbished? Josh, wish I could have seen your FD, guess I will have to wait till the first meet in April since I will be out of town for the next meet.

-Rob
