5 grand which is a really reasonable price for this kind of a job. I got quotes as high as 10 grand.

I took it in on the 13th of June, they said about a month but i'm guessing a month and a week to be safe. They are also refinishing my old tail lights by clear coating them and they come out so nice and glossy so everything will look very good. :)

Extreme Effect on Parsons Road. Reflections quoted me 10 grand for the same job, i told them to fuck off cause thats triple the price of the car itself.

Reflections painted my car and did an awesome job. But it wasn't cheap.

Thats why i went there in the first place because of seeing your car. Oh well, i've seen work coming out of this shop and its of great quality, just shows that you really have to shop around for a good price. The guy who i'm dealing with is a stand up guy too and doesn't mind me coming in every few days to check out the progress.

Uh oh - my wife is gonna kick your ass when she see's her old car looking like that... heh heh , just joking!
(*Probably she's gonna kick my ass for convincing her to sell it when she see's what it looks like when it's done!)
Can't wait to see the finished product.

The stock colour is actually a rare colour on rx7's Royal Maroon Metallic, paint code 3A, only offered in 86/87 i believe. It's a nice red with sparkles in it.

| Looks like a perfect time to strip out sound deadening material and other usless interior panels, passanger seats, trunk crap, spare tire, dash.. adding a roll cage.. And making a race car. But that just might be me. ;) |

I don't want to gut the car, i like the car to look complete not all naked. I might still put a cage in it but keep the carpet in it etc.

| Go big or go home. Carpet is for sissys :) On a side note, your car can actually get a lot faster just by dropping wieght. A lot of my friends have become faster by taking stuff out then they have by adding your standard bolt on mods. |

:P Thanks and actually the reason being is because its more of a restoration project. I don't want to mess with the original bodylines and such, i mean some things are getting changed and are already changed but i like these cars as is. Plus the rear seats are hard to find, even though they are useless its nice to know you have one with rear seats. :D

Hey i'd actually like to know some opinions on a colour to powdercoat my rims after getting them repaired. There's nothing wrong with silver like they are now but.. its just.. silver is bland.
Open to all opinions just not silly ones.

Black wheels can look really good on a red car. |

| Thanks for input, any others? By the way i got pictures today of the rear quarter panel cut out and will post them soon. |

They are still going to cut the piece on the top they just need it there for now to test fit and overlap etc. |
