Project Junkyard Turbo 'Vert continues to move along at a snails pace... mainly becuase I got held up on the dyno till 7 or so tonight, and I'm still trying to get some shit welded up for a different and believe it or not more time sensitive project.
So.... with 58 days left... here's what we've got accomplished.... NOT MUCH!
The car did get a bath and get moved inside... as you requested DJ, here are some pics of the beaut inside.
I was going to compound the car down to get a really good idea of the body work that needs to be done, but there are more pressing matters at hand than spending a few hours with a buffing wheel.
The interior is in great shape
For some reason, I can't remember why, I pulled the steering whell off the car. We have a fork truck here that we use to tow cars around with... well, Kyle was running at a high rate of speed and I was steering.... and then the steering wheel was in my lap while I was aimed at a moving fan dropping a car off  Almost added a few more things to the todo list for this project.
But the body is in really good condition. Only a few spots of rust and overall a good solid car. She should roll nicely when all is done.
And of course the Atihun hood that I picked up about 2 yrs ago. As odd as it is, I will have 3 RX7's, 2 FC's and 1 FD, all with the same basic aftermkt hood. The one on the coupe that I built from a stock AL hood. This Atihun hood... and a few months ago, maybe a yr, who knows, I picked up a carbon Fibre Mazdaseed hood for the FD. Basically the Atihun guys took the vent from the FD MazdaSpeed hood and molded it onto an FC hood. Then used that as a plug to build this hood. It's by far my favorite aftermkt hood.... second to the one I built of course
Regardless, there is some body work in this cars future before DGRR.... so if anyone wants to help, we'll be spraypainting at the lodge on Friday night, hoping it dries before Sat morning
