More progress pics. I'm hoping to get this one dusted over the Christmas break. It depends if I build a cage for it or not... Stripped the orange for the third time, this is my forth crack at the color. Still not 100% happy, but I ain't painting it again! Pleased with the interior, just need to put belts on the pasenger seat, and maybe build a cage...

GT wing on the back, finish the underside and polish out the paint and it's done. I'd like comments on the wheels, I'm not sure about them.

the orange looks awesome bro! good job. i definitley say leave the wheels on!! Advan RG's are the top choice for race wheels in Japan, and they're stylish as well. plus they're the wheels on the actual real-life C-West RX-7.

Good job on the rx-7. Love the orange on the car. IMO you should put diiferent rims on the car because they look kinda small and it looks like it tucks in to much. I thinkk some 18in TE-37s

Thanks all for the kind comments! The orange is a custom mix of Tamiya Orange Yellow and Red topped with Tamiya clear mixed with custom pearl powders. Needs a clear coat and polishing.

The wheels look a bit odd cause the car is only resting on them, the chassis isn't done yet!
