Team Chihuahua RB25 RX7

[Kruizer]

@ digitalsolo : I know ya, like hot wheels or something



Within no time, Mark had the bonnet stripped and started levelling it out :



In the mean time I went off and sourced to standard wings and dug out the rear bumper :



Dropped them off and it was nice to see Mark Snr.'s RB26 SB15 and Mark Jnr.'s BMW drift car :



Doesnt look too bad at the thread pattern for the over fenders but when you look at the wheel itself you can how wide it really is :

[panosRB7]

Wow buddy, you've done great choices and a really great job.. Can't wait to see the Double-RB Combo! 

[Kruizer]

Cheers fella, ya I like the twist Double RB



Finally sorted a petrol cap and it had to come from the UK ffs




MG Crash Repairs have started on the kit, sanding it down and getting ready for primer, quality of the kit is the best I have ever seen or owned.






All prepped and ready for primer




Mark doing his thing



The result



And then straight into the body, very happy with the progress and will make sure to keep yee posted, expect to have the car finished this month

[Classy]

kinda excited to see this finished

[Kruizer]

You and me both, want to get onto the next build

[Classy]

You have to finish this and the RX8 aswell

[Kruizer]

Hope to have that finished for the Summer provided I don't buy any more cars LoL

[airwolf16]

excited to see this moving!

[Kruizer]

Thanks airwolf16



Picked up a sleek headlight kit today and the rear bins vertical section for the interior, this car is almost fully done parts wise

[digitalsolo]

Yeah, your cars are the right balance of cool and batshit crazy.   I like where you're going.

[Kruizer]

Thanks digitalsolo



Dropped into MG Crash Repairs yesterday to check up on the car and Mark is making good progress, thankfully he is as fussy as me so that should make a great build






This is without a doubt my favourite pic, showing my son Reese how the car was being put together

[digitalsolo]

Glad its coming along.   My son just turned 4 and is starting to get interested in helping.   Makes it fun!   Good luck with the body shop, finding a good/detail oriented one that doesn't leave it in purgatory for 5 years is a difficult task, hold on to a good one!

[FC3S Murray]

It is a very special thing when your boy starts being curious and determined to do what dad does. My son scolds me (he is almost 6)if I go for a drive without him or don't let him help in the garage. They are such a blessing!

FD is going to be spectacular when finished! Nice job.

@digitalsolo : I might be able to convert him into a petrolhead but I doubt it

@FC3S Murray : Ah ya kids are awesome, you just want to pass on what you know to them, dads are such soft touches LoL

So I will try to keep regular updates coming as the car is coming along now, Mark has prep'd the standard quarters so if someone sneaks a look under the arch its still clean and tidy looking. The standard front wing have been fitted to be cut, the passenger one has a little damage so that is being repaired also but so far so good and the car is starting to take shape

More updates to come, after paint the wheels need to be refurbished, brides fitted, engine mapped and then the test spin

[Kruizer]

So Mark has been hard at it, I had to get rough second hand wings as they were the only ones available, he has been repairing the sections that are being kept and working on the shut lines to the best possible outcome given the choice of paint we are going with.




He has also gone OCD on the quarters both on the outside and on the inside




We also remove the factory aerial and thats all welded up now too so we are in good shape for primer.



With IDC Round 1 coming up this weekend there wont be any work done on the car this week so you can expect mroe updates next week and maybe even see the car all one colour ha, ha, ha.
