1986 RX7 base model resto-mod project

I've been working on the car a bit more lately, now that the weather is nice. I don't have a camera anymore (laundry accident...), but there's not much to take pictures of anyway.

- I finally got the engine bay painted, it came out really good for rattle can. I'm now starting to reassemble the bay.

- I'm working on getting the old bushings out so I can replace them with new Energy Suspension ones

- I started breaking down the rear suspension. Miraculously, my diff mount isn't broken.

I have one more batch of parts to order from Mazdatrix, and I have to pick up the parts for a 5-lug swap, then the final assembly will begin. I'm pretty sure I'll have a job soon, so things will move much faster at that point.
