Oh I plan on getting into the 10's with the bottle, I think I should be able to do it with a 150 shot
Were you taking your parts somewhere to bead blast them? Or do you have your own? If you have your own...whats your set up? Ive been wanting one of those for a long time now. Because, lets face it, the worst part to working on a car is cleaning the old parts. haha. I hate it. Sometimes, if the part is nasty enough, Ill just get another one thats cleaner. Thats now much I hate rust/grime removal.
Car is looknig great by the way! That is gonna be one fun ride when youre done! Make sure someone has a camera on your face the first time you really get into it on the road...the expression is priceless!

that's what it says on the front at least
What is better is the big *** compressor that runs it.
I'm using a glass bead for the compound.

Nice...thanks. Looks like maybe a harbor freight part number??? They have some, but Im always skeptical about them. I might have to check one of them out... Just wish I could get the bigger parts in one of those too...

yea its a harbor freight one. I got my 16" rims in that one and the rear drive axels I have had some big parts in there.
Alright here guys here are some update pics tell me if you can tell a difference haha. I have done some cleaning and a little painting. I moved some wiring harness and tied them back up where they need to be. Does not look like much but its the detail that counts.
Here is where I'm going to be moving the fuse boxes to. I'm test fiting the bracket right now and seeing how it is going to fit.
here is behind the fender I just cleaned.
I just cleaned and painted the cowl peice.

I have not got that far as of yet. The money has been going else ware to mod the motor and get this damn thing on the road. I was thinking getting some H&R springs with some Koni's for a cheap start until I get some coil overs. What would you suggest?
koni's with ground control coilover conversion is good and will give you infinite choice of spring rates, and give you more clearance to run bigger wheels up front. also tein flex is good coilover.
call sam strano first:

but for reference from shox.com:
012. Koni sport shocks 1993 - 1996 Extenally adjustable shocks, price is for a set of 4. Shipping is free. $616.00
050. Ground Control Coil-Over Kit 1993 - 1996 Kit cotains Eibach ERS springs and mounts, no shocks. Lowers car 0-2 inches. $599.00
tri point is another good rx7 shop that deals with suspension:
