Update... Nov. 18th, 2012

Putting in the Engine and trans..







I've decided to drop the subframe and install the engine by sliding it under and lifting it up and bolting the subframe..







After that, we started it bolting up all the suspensions and brakes..

Update - Nov. 9th, 2012

Update continues..

When i first saw the car after paint, I decided to clean up the wheel wells and put a nice new coat of undercarriage paint.

But til then, I also decided to drop the rear subframe and do it right



I then taped up the wheel arch and went to town with the paint.



Front after paint..





Rear painted and with new subframe and new diff on.

Update - November 8th, 2012

Its been about 2 weeks since my last update... Since than, I've put the car together (not running) in 8 days, went to SEMA Las Vegas, and came back to Birmingham, AL.

I'll try to go through the journey over next 2-3 days.. And I promise you guys, there will be ton of pics

To start, I was waiting for my paint and body guys Jonathan Goolsby and his crew to paint the body so I could start working on the car.

Paint we've chosen was BASF Mercedes AMG Imola Grey Metallic with hint of darker tint.

Here is a picture of the car before and after the shell was painted.





Car at this point had nothing on it except stock suspensions and some old school VOLK wheels to roll the shell around.

More coming when I get some more photos uploaded..

Holy shit dude! I really don't care about Asian cars but this thing is amazing, love builds with eye for so much detail
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Car is almost done and will be completely done sometime early next year.

My favorite gen rx7. This thing will be a beauty when it's done. I didn't read your full thread, but wasn't one of two of your cars featured in Modified Mag? I have the cover hanging up in my room

My MB FD was on the cover in 2010

This makes me weak at the knees!

LOL! Thanks!

were these pictures taken infront of world wide racing?

No, taken in Birmingham, AL

Here are some updated pics as I get ready for SEMA Las Vegas.







More pics coming once the car is set up at SEMA.... I just unloaded yesterday..
