Wheels have turned up, waiting on material for my plenum and ordering intercooler, oil cooler, radiator and a rear wing, once the intercoolers in I can make my entire plenum, need the intercooler in so I know where to point the throttle body, then I can fit up some tires to the rims, make new alloy front hubs for the rx7 stubs but in a 4 stud and then with them and the cooler I'll be ready to start making up the plugs for my fibreglass moulds. But first I need to get my brothers car out of the shed, that means rust repairs, paint and reco the diff and front end then back to his place and I'll get my car back. Hopefully it won't be too long

This build has been awesome to follow you have some exceptional skills, I am currently restoring a ke30 2dr myself although not to the extent you have! Wondering do you have any original parts that you would sell, I've been looking for the chrome gutter trim but not been able to get any also a dash in good condition doesn't have to be perfect but the less cracks the better, mine is terrible. Good luck with the rest of the build

Thanks mate, I'm on the hunt for gutter trims too, I have parts but I have another 2 door that will be build into a rally car plus a coupe for a road resto and my brother has a 55 race car and I'm currently restoring the body of another 55 for him haha so I need my parts

Yeah fair enough, well good luck again and awesome thread to follow

Presents turned up today, just like Christmas day

This shows just how critical my wheel size and offset is

So I got a 205/50/15 fitted aswell as a 225/50/15, 205 is a perfect fit on the wheel but even the 225 still fits nice,I knew the 205 would fit the car, 215 would be close and throught the 225 would hit but lord behold it's absolutely perfect, couldn't be happier, just need to roll the inner lip up and she's good to go

Ok this thing will hopefully be done in the next few weeks and I can get my 2 door back and put endless work into it to get it done, I've rolled the rear guards and the 225's fit perfectly and have rotors and rebuild kits for the brakes so the next job will be making new front hubs in a 4 stud so I can put the front wheels on. Again sorry to anyone who is missing seeing this car progressing

These things take time :clover:

They do but I'm getting impatient haha, this things moving along quickly though

great progress. seems rather quick too. lotsa late nights?

Nah prepped Friday night painted Saturday. The rust was fixed Easter weekend, few late nights this week though, built a spray booth for $200, works great

Love the spray booth! Well done!

Thanks, tested the booth and it works a treat

Wing turned up, mounts are designed all wrong, I'll be remaking them but the wing itself is good
