rx-7

[n2oinblood]

i picked up a jadatoys rx-7 today for about 25 dollars and all i could really think to do to it was to convert the doors to lambo style. that's all the mods it has right now. if you would like to suggest any other mods, see more pictures, or comment on my work then please do!







^^the interior door panel is attached now, i just forgot to put it on in that picture

i actually also changed the hood to a carbon fiber one and switched the rims out to chrome ones. if you woulod like to see pictures of the car with the chrome rims and carbon fiber hood let me know

put the door pannels back on and make it a more street look other like i dont know more road friendly is the word im looking for make it one side ways facing exaust take althoughs decals off paint black and you got your project cut out and take the sound system inthe trunk and make it a box setup and youlll still have space left to put more stuff in like put 1 nice big nos bottle in there. IMO

[n2oinblood]

you want me to take off all the decals?

[TheBenzon]

i already swapped the rims to chrome and put the door panels on, i'll post pictures when i get home, i'll also start the paint removal tonight

[TheBenzon]

so u took my idea thanks if you need anyotherhelp just post here or pm me also what scale is it

1/18

a small setback today, while i was apllying the paint removal to the various parts with gloves on, my fingers started burning, the remover ate threw the gloves i had on and was starting to eat away at my fingers! it sure did hurt because i had a cut on my fingertip and that started to burn like nothing i've felt before. so i'm going to home depot tomorrow to get chemical resistant gloves so we can get this project back on the road

im sorry to hear that man really i know how that must hurt acid meating your skin. So is the car sitting in the substance right now. Also you can pm me pics of the car currently right now if you dont want to post it in a whole form. So you are also going to do a box settup for the streo right so it looks more streetracer style and one single muffler slanted. That is going to look pimp if you do all that. Keep me posted.

[n2oinblood]

it is in the solution right now, i am going to make one slanted muffler and i'm not too sure how to make a box setup for the speakers but i'm going to try! i'll post pictures when i get home from work today

[n2oinblood]

i found a little time to take some pictures with my phone and put them up so here they are:

^^a top view of the car

^^ if you look closely you can see two doors and the trunk.
after all the paint is off, i will be bondo ing up some little holes like where the spoiler was and the holes for the mirrors.

so tonight when i got home from work, i proceeded with the stripping of my rx-7. i'm proud to say that there is not one single flake or speck of paint on my entire car now.

later tonight i may get to bondo the holes up

[n2oinblood]

well this is it for tonight, bondo is pretty much done, just waiting for it to dry.

[TheBenzon]

so painting it black right cause if so with chrome and black that thing is going to look sweet. Really good work im amazed. Mind if i ask what kind of stripper did you use i might want to use that stuff.
