Update on the XR7.

I decided to go ahead and finish it. Only one person seemed interested in the parts, and i was so close to having it done. I went and did the final block on it saturday night and sprayed some black primer on it sunday. Its lookin good. Im going to go pick up the 94 so i can start swapping parts around, gonna have to do another hood dammit. Shes makin some progress. I went to move it last night, and i got really pissed, it didnt want to start, seemed like it was outta gas. Put 4 gallons in it, still wouldnt start. Fought with pullin on plug out, and they was fouled. Havent drove the car but about 2 miles since the rebuild and it doesnt have much run time on it. Threw 2 new ones in there, and it fired up.

Also, didnt someone on here have new tape for the doors????

Do you mean for the trim for the exterior of the B-pillar or for the dent trim on the doors and fenders? I believe Ford still (well this was 6 years ago) sells the trim tape for the B-pillar. However, if you are painting the car anyway I think you'd be better served to paint those surfaces with semi-flat black.

Awesome work Derek! Glad you kept with it and will see the project all the way through.
