Heres pics of the project my dad and I are working on. It'll be fun once it's finished --

 

ohh i love project cars. keep us updated!
edit: btw i love your idea about modern seats in an old car. I hate driving in a classic and have to sit on 60 year old tech.

 

Yeah haha, you can see the springs to the old seats hanging on the wall. My dad plans on putting in/programming a touchscreen inside the car that will control everything - starting the car, windshield wipers etc. He planned on using the original engine though, but after some inspection of it it has a crack, so he decided to put a 350 in it.

 

please tell me you'll use something better than old minivan seats in the end though. you could pick up some nice used black leather rx8 seats on the forums for a few hundred.

 

thats pretty dam cool

 

yeah you should install all the rx8 parts on it and make it a classic rx8 from the past

 

Put some 09 Recaro seats in that bad boy!!

 

^ +1... i seen a coupe with a Rotary in it... NO JOKE

 

cool project; make it a rotary!

 

old school

 

Some new seats would help a lot.

 

Don't worry haha, those seats are just in place for rebuilding purposes right now. Eventually they'll be modified and reupholstered .

 

haha niice. let us know how it goes in three years. i have had my 66 bug for three years and its finally almost done. oh and its gunna be turboed

 

yeah it'll probably be a good 3 years until its taking shape >.<.. It was hauled around for 20 years until we actually started working on it

 

looks like fun! and a lot of work...

 

ya fun and a **** ton of money haha

 

Yep, that's why it's gonna take a while. Plus getting all the rust off it. It was a pain in the *** just trying to get all the rotted wood out from inside all of the frames in the car

 

good bonding exp though haha

 

hmmm...Rx8-style suicide doors...

 

There was a rotary-powered Porsche at DGRR this year, pretty cool.

 

i can picture the end result being gangster as ****. like al capone in 2010 gangster.

 

So it's been a while, but it keeps progressing anyways. Just have a little more bodywork to do until tear down starts and it gets sent off for painting.
