So back to fibreglass, as said much earlier the fit is shocking however with a few bolts here and a heat gun burning the arse out of the kit it started to come right if only the wings it was a step forward.





Only took 2 hours to get the wings to fit but looks alot better.




I have to do some trimming around the lights, adjust the hinges for the bonnet, move the power steering fluid bottle and the gaps should be some bit better. Screwed on the quarters too but again they need alot of work, be a while before its all sorted...

So I had a spare hour and decided to see what way the skirts would line up to the wings and quarters, suprise, suprise, shocking was the answer, there seems to be a pretty decent gap on both sides, now it is even however I don't know whether to cut the skirts in the middle and move them forward to close it or leave them as is, there is strain on them already and I'd be afraid of the joint cracking tbh.






I reckon the easiest thing to do is use filler to build up the recess however still leave a joint and that should prevent the stress of making the skirts longer without cracking... So I then threw on the rear bumper, worse fitment than the front but I was hardly shocked, was thinking of binning the whole kit until I pushed it back in the garage, the presence of the car in the garage sold me, its going to be a long few months of work but I reckon it'll be worth it

So I spent an hour or so heating and twisting the bumper :



First issue was the bonnet line, the bonnet wouldn't close, anyone who has fitted an aftermarket from bumper to an RX7 knows that the bonnet line is the hardest to get right :



So ground back the front of the bonnet just a shave, pinned the bumper back from underneath and finally ground back the bumper just enough, the wings aren't lining up to the bumper at the sides yet but 3hrs was more than enough of looking at this thing :
