Some more updates, Fuel system. The previous owner took the original fuel tank out when the foam filling started degrading. Not sure of the original design but he did put in a nice around 9 gallon Jaz tank. They put it on the passenger side in the back but ended up with the pickups facing forward due to design. Not a problem but you have to keep the tank full. I did notice around 3 gallons or so under hard acceleration it would starve about the time you got through 3rd gear. Decided to do a header tank that was gravity feed since I could mount the tank below the main tank. Found a 1 gallon tank that would fit. If I turned it upside down. It already had 2 #8 AN fittings on top and 1 on the bottom. Made an aluminum plate instead of the fuel cap. Put another #8 fitting in the plate for main fuel feed, one #6 for fuel return. With the tank upside down I fed the 2 #8 lines out of the main tank to the 2 #8 fitting now at the bottom to feed the tank. The #8 feed line that is not at the top was reduced to #6 and vented to the top of the main tank. When doing this I did add another fuel level sensor at the bottom of the main tank for better low fuel resolution. The fuel pump was on the left side where I put the tank so I had to move it over to the right.

Nice looking one. Take care of it and have fun! I do not regret getting mine. Funny, I was reading the other thread and I ended up with the one that powderbrake had and posted the photos.

Well while we are at it. Saving mine for my Granddaughter.

Took it to the All British/European car show. Hung out with some real Lotus cars.

Finished painting and now it has been rainy for 3 weeks, so it is sitting in storage. It has good company though.

Just need to do some wet sanding, polishing now and a good cleaning. This summer when it is to hot or next winder I will take the front apart and black out the suspension and headlights.

Must resist, just repainted mine. A green and yellow one would match my new paint scheme.

I changed my interior to black but yes I have had a Code Brown incident in mine.

You are going to want to get rid of that vent on the left side. The previous owner of mine put one on the right side about the same place. Aerodynamically all that hot air is going to swirl right into the cockpit. Without a windshield to push the air over the top of you about your only option is to bottom breathe it. Edit, Congratulations on finding one! I was looking at normal 7s and not ready to buy when I ran across mine. I did not pass it up realizing these do not come up for sale that often.

Came home early today to clear coat. Unmasked the yellow and only had 2 places needed to clean up the lines in the radius on the front. Activated the first batch of clear and was doing final inspection and did not like a couple of places. Canceled painting for today to wait for the green to do another coat. Luckily only activated a little over 1/2 qt. A couple of good things is now I am thinking of doing a 25% clear on the last coat of green to deepen the metallic. Also thinking of adding an accent yellow stripe in the paint scheme while I am waiting on the new paint.

Started putting color on. Thought I had enough green but ran out, was 2 front fenders short.

They left the Jeep out. The Viper should not be there because its drag is functional.

Decided since the belly had some scratches and dents that no one will ever see I should fix them. Has some extra coating from doing the inside of the fenders. Clean sanded and filled a couple small dents. Did a light coating.

I do need to update, right now sanding everything down to repaint. Going back with a more traditional 7 paint scheme. I already have a yellow car so this one is being changed to Motor Sports Green Metallic B75, with the yellow nose and stripe. The stripe will be the same color, 2004 mustang Screaming yellow D6 since I already have that yellow.

Now I just need to install a shift boot. Going to make the surround out of the left over CF from the dash.
