1983 Limited Edition Resto/with some goodies - Page 2

Looks pretty good to me.. Its always bad when you have fresh paint and 25+ year everything else. Its ok though. We'll get that engine cleaned up and back in the hole and it'll look nice again. The rest of the acc. should be flat blacked and polished... a good mixture will set it off.

When are you bringing the engine up to the shop?? Need to degrease that thing and get it lowered back in. Should take less time than painting the engine bay, lol...

Ah - need to clean out that bell housing and input shaft too...

Your wheels will probably take me another two weeks or so as well, but they should come out pretty good...

Bill, I hope it will happen in the next week or so..all that personal shit your aware of has just screwed everything up, and looks like we are going to put an app on that 3 story town house with the garage next week. So I think the LE should be back in Culpeper by 1st or 2nd week in Feb.

one320fc · 01-29-2011, 12:02 AM

So just a little update, We got the keys to the new house today so the car will be coming home in the next week or two and I can get some more work and pictures up!

2gslse · 01-30-2011, 08:16 PM

Congrats on the house. now get back to work.

BTW... my RX-8 made 194 rwhp at Dave's on sat.

one320fc · 01-31-2011, 08:46 PM

Thats sweet Bill told me all about it! Now he is going to go after you, Bill doesnt like to be beat lol

On another note the LE will be home soon so if the weather holds off we should have a mini meet here at the new place.. I want to see your new 8!!!

WE3RX7 · 02-20-2011, 05:03 PM

I'll get some pics up - but the car did make it back to one320fc's home so hopefully more progress will start VERY soon...

An old friend of ours lives out your way with a red '94 miata on 17" kosei k1s, boosted, custom front air diverter (looks like a lip) but no sparcos to my knowledge. Also - he hardly drives the car (last I saw it had a dohnut on the front), but still... you may have seen him. Who'd have thought we'd have two boosted red miatas in culpeper, lol...

WE3RX7 · 02-21-2011, 08:42 PM

Should've sealed that floor, lol. Its gonna get messy in there over the next few weeks.

My phone is not playing well with me this evening, so no pics for you.

2gslse · 02-21-2011, 09:37 PM

Garage looks good but it needs a little something. I think it needs some junk parts laying around, a garage isn't complete until its full of car parts and fluids everywhere.
