Rx7 fd #FirstProjectBuild

[Brendanfd3s]

Well lads, I had been looking at project builds for long enough so decided a spell ago to begin my own. Cheap and cheerful was the aim at first so I picked up an e36 coupe for a couple a hundred with the idea of lumping in a v8. By the end of stripping it down I was bored (sorry beamer fans) So I began looking again...
This popped up soon after and I had it bought within 30mins of it being posted.
Rolling fd3s shell with brakes, halfshafts, diff, propshaft, rack, dash...







Got her home and soon got to work while I could....





chopped boot floor plus corners because one was mangled


Front near side had a tip at some point so instead of worrying about it being ment,,,Chop Chop Chop,,


Lightened up the doors




When I was down to just a bare shell I went about stripping the sound deadening. A few boys had told me wait till a frosty night, hammer and chisel, clean with petrol, and all the rest. Tried some a these but wasnt happy with the results so after a few calls bought myself 10kg of dry ice.

Makes some job of it, leave some pellets evenly spread across it for 5 mins, couple a light taps of a rubber mallet and it comes off clean as a whistle




An hour or so later...
