My 7

[Wide7]

I'm looking forward to more updates and eventually the end result!

Me as well. Its always a challenge to keep the shop on top of their game when it comes to getting my car back in the rotation. a little pressure, a few reminders, and a couple 12 packs of dos equis should do it...

The Wastegates-

The T-shirt-

AWESOME, I've always thought they looked like a Japanese variant on the American muscle car design, lol

 

[CantCMe]

That is one hawt FD!!!!!

 

[Wide7]

Well here she is. She rusted and interior is tore up, but eventually shes gonna look a lot better, first plans are remove the rust and paint

 

[Koenig]

I hope you're gonna finish the FD first though, lol

Oh and when I was thinking RX-4 I was thinking THIS (this is what I remember from one of my uncle's having once before....I think, I was just a kid back then), yours looks somewhat different.

 

[Wide7]

The FD is nearly "done", just another week or two in the shop and it will be back in my hands.

yup mine is a 4 door, thats why it looks different. = )

Awesome, can't wait to see the final product.

and yeah I noticed the 4 door that's why I said it's different, lol when I think of RX-4 I think of the coupes and how they "resemble" how Japan would do American muscle cars if they ever designed one

 

[Wide7]

yup, seems like the sedan is even more uncommon, but not quite as uncommon as the wagon!
i dont care if people think its ugly, its unique! which is what i love about it. And soon enough its gonna be lookin better than it is now. hehe

Drop a 20b in it and decimate all that comes your way..... LOL (rofl2)

 

[Wide7]

no way, its an automatic, and i dont wanna do anything performance wise.. just wanna clean it up and learn how to do the work myself. Just a starter car for me to learn how to do body work on, and possibly some interior work.

Congrats on the Old School Rotary find! (cool)

Now you have to keep us updated on BOTH Mazdas...

I'm looking forward to your update on the FD once you get it back home...(drive)

I love those!!!

 

[Wide7]

yea we did a shoot with the FD for a calendar that is coming out soon. I am working on getting picks up as soon as i get the raw copies, the edited ones will take a little longer.
The FD should only be in the shop another couple weeks at the longest, so thats exciting.
After that im gonna park it and start saving for materials for the body work on the RX-4. I cant wait to get all the rust off and get her painted!

Sounds fun man, your Avatar reminds me, I was just at a Mazda dealer getting a checkup on my speed6 (check engine light came up, it was for a loose gas cap, i never leave it loose, I think someone's syphoning my s***, lol) I digress, anyway.... I saw the new RX-8, and it looks like they borrowed quite a few key appearances that kind of make me think of an RX-7 (like regarding the front end). and I have to say, I DEFINITELY like the new rx-8 better than the old (which is probably because I absolutely love FD3S rx-7s )
