Hi, I am starting a new project. I call it the "Crashed Rx7"
Here is a little backround:
I was originally modifying the front bumper of the Rx7, and ran into some difficulties when trying to extend the front grill down. So, I ended up cutting off the whole front bumper.
I plan to make it look like a crashed drifter. I will be fabricating an intercooler out of styrene and some disc drive ribbon cable. (Thanks cheez)
The color is Tamiya Light-Gunmetal.
Here are some pictures of the 2nd coat of paint (Spoiler holes have been filled.):
Here are some pictures of the early stages of the graphics (Don't mind the razor blade marks .)
Here is what I plan for the exhaust to look like: (Thanks to Benc1 for helping me get the right effect.)
You could also do a v-mount rad/intercooler placement. I don't have any pics handy on an RX-7, but here's a diagram. Just in case you decide to do the 'upgrade'.
what a great idea. way to polish a turd!!
I've always wanted to do a 'beater-tuner'.
like those tri-color primer crx's you see with a poorly attached front airdam kit, a rear side window with clear plastic duct-taped over it and a 'for sale' sign in the window.
