With a bit of lovin', she's gonna come up just fine!
Here's the worst of the rust
going...
going...
GORNE!
Fingers crossed that that's the last I'll see of that shite. Shouldn't be a problem. All the rust was zapped, it's etch primed and has a couple of layers of topcoat, and it's going to be under sound deadening, so minimal air and no moisture.
Very shortly I will be annihalating the remaining rust, and then installing some black plush or dark burgundy plush knox carpets, over which I shall be placing these puppies:
A big thanks to fonzy (w810sc) for the seats. Thanks also to normo for the window winder.
Now I have to get a centre console and a parcel tray (probably make this), rig up something as a dash mat, retrim the windscreen pillars, fix the dash and change the colour of some of the interior trim and the inside'll be done.
As far as the mechanicals are concerned, I told a fib above. It is a 88210, according to the head. I was mislead by the post of the original owner into thinking the block was a 88230, and I figured since it had an EFI thermo housing, it was a 270 head. Anyways, I have here an original 18RGEU electronic dizzy to hook up sometime, and I need to get a recoed radiator and fix various coolant leaks (dang ethylene glycol finds the leaks quickly). Then it's time for the mods  .
What I wanna do in the short term is the following:
-Do a brake/front suspension upgrade. Probably based around FC RX7 calipers
-get a shell and fab up some bits for a R&P conversion
-do an undisclosed rear suspension upgrade (I don't wanna deal with the "'ya can't do that" crap, so you'll have to wait for a while)
-Try some stuff out on 18RGs. Eventually, when I am older than 25 (if petrol is still available to the peasants) do something crazy. Along the lines of BEAMS 3SGE, 2ZZGE if/when they become widely available, or dick around with converting a 4AGZE to miller cycle (now THAT would be individual).
Sorry for the boring non-exterior pics. I promise I'll get some glamour pics up one day.
