Blimey, how the hell does it rust through there on the roof? Did it come through from inside or something?

So much rust. The car was cheap but the body work must cost a fortune. I mean I'm not complaining. At least it's a rare old japanese car which is going to be back on the road again soon but wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy a RX7 in a better shape? I hope at least the engine and the interior are in a good shape.
It's really interesting to see pictures of such a restoration.

Buying a nice car is ok but building a nice car is so much more satisfying

Nice of you to say Keith. Only people building a nice car by themself be able to write such words.

Wow looks great. When will you get it finished and back on the road?

I was looking at some of the old photo's. How did you repair the windscreen struts, they looked pretty shot?
