I actually did both of them with the tape. I removed all the sound deadening material in the blue car the other car had it removed already. The tape seems to be weather resistant so far, its been on the blue car for over 8 years.
Many months with no RX7 purchases has left the "fun stuff" account overflowing so it's time to do something about that.
I don't know why I never caught this sooner Marc. I plan on attacking the entire underside of the car with POR-15 but I'm not looking forward to spending hours on my back with a wire wheel and brush (no lift). I think I can address a majority of the rust myself with POR-15 and patches. When I get the car back (don't get me started) I need to check the proximity of one of the holes to one of the roll bar points. That may be the only location where a weld repair is required. Since I've never used POR-15 before I ordered the Super Starter Kit and am going to practice on other items (e.g. fuel tank cover). Speaking of, I've got the thing stripped down and ready for the AN fittings. I just need to come up with a way to run the wires.after you cut out the holes and patch them use POR-15 on them it seals rust and sticks to everything, I did the entire bottom of my Rx-7 with it after I removed all of the undercoating.

Good idea. If only I had another engine stand. I might know someone who has a rotisserie though. Maybe they'll let me borrow it. I already made all the fuel lines for the last car. My lines and fittings are Fragola parts so I know the Koul tool. I didn't use it but it would've probably helped.If you are going to do a lot of work on the bottom of the car try making a rotisserie with 2 engine stands and weld up a couple of brackets to attach to the bumper brackets. I 've seen it work with a shell of a car. Also if your going to make some AN lines then look into an item called a Koul tool, I used on to make all of my AN lines for the RX-7.
