Looks nice and smooth, but i guess you were a little excited because you didnt dry her off in some of the pics. Also, would you know where i would be able to pick up any parts for an 86 rx7? I got into an accident and need a front bumper, right fender and headlight. A paint job later too. Where was yours done?

I know of some people that talk about junkyards in clearwater to pick up parts for the rx-7's ive never been there before, I paid around 1k for my paintjob at Macoo on Fowler , thats because I had them do 10 hours of body work to sand some of the rough edges out of the car, normally you would pay around 300 with no body work done as I did with my last mazda and it turned out great. Glad you like her.

also,I thought you was suppose to wait a few days before washing a car,that was recently painted.. and Rule #1 on a black car,dry it after washingf it,You will get water spots that will be a bitch to get out..

On my black first gen,I was going to weld a plate inside and out,the IMSA wing I want,will cover it up.

I want to see it in person,to see the outcome.
