The color and clear is down on the car finally.

He still needs to paint the hood and sunroof. I'll probably be going over there tomorrow and take pics.

Good news!

Bring it up for the car show rx7 boy posted?

The car will be done for that for sure but the wife isn't going to like me going to a car show on our anniversary, lol.

Get a sitter, dress her up and take her to the city.

I wouldn't push it myself either, but you have waited forever to get your car to do such a thing.

Wow. That is looking great! I agree, bring it to the car show, and if you bring your wife and newborn you're still spending your anniversary together. It's a win for everyone! LOL

How long to reassemble mouldings and such?

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Sat Mar 02, 2013 9:14

He is saying it will be done within the next week.

The mouldings just go on with double stick tape. Emblems snap in, gaskets push on, I have about 1 hour on the interior.

He needs to do the rust repair still.

-side moulding install
