Well, I suppose it's time for an update, eh? Yeah, it's been awhile as there has been much preparation around here for the upcoming arrival of our first child towards the end of December. The RX-7 has taken a backseat to painting my son's room, putting together cribs and nursing chairs, hanging decorations and shelves and what seems like hundreds of other little tasks.
I got a few minor things done today. First up was the "RX-7" emblem on the rear of the car. I'd never liked the fact that there was a plain "Mazda" in front of it in much smaller type and not in the traditional Mazda font. So, I chopped it off with the Dremel and filled in the gap with some putty. I am happy with the results. Once I get farther along in body work, I will fill the hole that will be exposed by the removal of the "Mazda" part of this emblem.
Then, I sorted through all of the B pillar and quarter trim I have accumulated over the past couple of years. I think I've finally picked out a good set. They aren't too dry for 20 year old plastic, and shine up nicely with application of dash and trim cleaner. I think eventually once they get a little moisture in them, they will look nice continually. I just needed to repair one of the mounting posts and they are now reading for bagging and tagging.
That was it for today. Depending on how things go, maybe some more tomorrow.
