[Taz007]

always liked rx7's seen this at the rolling road day looks mean.

 

[Lee A]

Dunno how ive missed this thread, love the look. Coming together real well. Would love an rx7 at some stage myself

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

well new wheels are on loverly job

also done a bit of work in the foot well of the passenger side, was high on medication and kinda foooked it up a bit lol but ill leave that for another day lol

also made a start on the dash, etch primed then a few coats of matte black should do her well for now

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

and just seen i forgot to upload the picture of the dash lol, this wee ally ****ers far from finished, got ventage and guages and all sorts of crap going on there. PIRATE COCKPIT OF DEATH

 

[Neil Kirkpatrick]

Great project and cool car. Though that dash could be a bit dangerous in a crash

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

lol how? if i crash im not going anywhere, it will be fully caged and i will stuck in the bucket lol

 

[Deckz]

Great project/build

 

[Neil Kirkpatrick]

lol how? if i crash im not going anywhere, it will be fully caged and i will stuck in the bucket lol

The dash is a few mm thick metal sheet just above your legs. All it takes is a for one of the front wheels to be pushed into the foot weld Crushing your legs into the dash.

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

the dash will be edge trimmed to minimise any injurys, as i said above its only there while ive got my guages where i want them and decided where and what type of digi dash i was then its used as a mould for dry carbon, so when im out on the track, it will be carbon.

if im going to be crashing for one of the front wheels to be in the foot well its going to be some front on force, a fully caged car minimise damage inside of the driver protective bubble, if its not then theres something wrong with the build. many cars have gone flipping all over the joing wrecking the car and walking away. the dash is no problem. its not a road car

 

[TheDaniel]

This thing is bloody brilliant, lots more pictures please! You gotta get a proper shoot done on it one day, lots of good photographers on here who I'm sure would be glad to take pictures of such a weapon!

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

Thanks mate,
It's almost worthy of a shoot, still have a few more things to do, but even then it's a long shot off complete

 

[Tr@ckpirate]

had a very riveting experience with the boot poly window lol, she wont pop out anytime soon

got the nikon out, didnt have decent space but got a couple of good shots for the picture lovers

not the best pictures, just a few quick snaps, didnt have tripod and space for it so these are a little too noisy as the iso was quite high and i couldnt be bothered to faff about with it. it was 12 o clock at night

might be doing a few bits more to it, i keep saying that's it till the new year lol we will see how that goes.

thanks, its just ordinary matte black paint, i had some left over from something else, after i removed a bit of surface rust and primed it an matte blacked it i thought it would be rude not to do the rest
