Project junkyard fun

[Marley4us]

Man it has been over 18 years since I owned a RX7. I had one as my first fun car in highschool, a 1989 FC S5 NA vert. Loved the little thing. Met my now Fiancee in it in highschool!

Many years Later, my wife got me a Turbo II project as an anniversy gift! It is beat to hell, P.O. put a NA swap in it, just giving me an excuse to V8 swap, probably 5.3 and then turbo it down the road. Here is my little story hope to learn a ton from all the wise people here[/img] and build a fun track monster, and garage queen

Thank you for adding me to this forum, i stalked it a while, but now I am making my moves

[Marley4us]

sorry took a min to resize images.

Well here is my build so far. Got her as a gift from the Fiancee as a anniversary gift. I had a S5 convertible in High School lol that is how I met her actually lol. But anyway here she is in all her beat-up glory.

stuff I had laying around the Garage for this project when she first came in

[Marley4us]

Cutting up the bumper for the Frame mounted silly park bench wing

[Marley4us]

Making the mounting brackets for the infiniti q45 gatling gun projector, and motorcycle LED projectors. This No name FC2000 bumper needs a lot of work... ugh

[Marley4us]

Cutting up the Fenders for the rear widebody, using riv-Nuts so they can bolt on and off easily.

[Marley4us]

Got a little goody in the mail, new wheel, and teaching my kiddo to change tires etc. got to get her into this stuff now so I can take her Tandem drift events!

Also got bored and made this little cover for the exhaust as it was melting the bumper up

[Marley4us]

The Rims where looking so nice, the brakes needed a little cleaning up, quick easy job with some high temp paint.

[Marley4us]

Got bored again... time to mess with the tail lights, had two sets of tailights sitting around S4 and S5 both are beat up. so why not play with em a little.

[Marley4us]

More boredom set in, so I am messing around with the s4 tail lights.

A little out door pic of her getting some sunlight.

Got some real parts in today finally. Decent tires came im, time to take off the tiny little OEM one, and put these beefer ones on. 18x10 rear, 18x9.5 up front.

[Marley4us]

Got a rear strut tower bar, kinda impressed it is actually not half bad the way it mounts up. I am sure i wont even notice a difference but hey one more suspension bit for the car.


Also got a Harness bar, and a X Bar I need to make brackets for to help out a little. Cant get sway bars until I know my exact motor drive train setup I get so those will have to wait.
