That spare looks cool! What year rx7? I’ve given up on finding dori dori for a matching spare.
The aluminum RX7 spare comes in the 86-87 models (non-turbo). You will need a small spacer to use it as it does not clear the Roadster front hub without one.
It seems like we have had non-stop rain here for the last few months, so I have not been able to get out much in Project Sting-Grey. However today the weather man showed no rain in the forecast, and despite temperatures in the mid-30s, I took the car down to Eugene to see the owners of "Project Unicorn" to catch up and talk roadsters. Before I left, I took a few shots in front of their amazing house.
Always good to get out in the car, but I certainly long for some warm summer days!
Ya, seeing it yet again... it's just such a gorgeous car. Everything is exactly as it should be. Perhaps the nicest example of a custom/upgraded Roadster ever IMHO.

Wow. Thank you. We really worked hard to balance style and modifications with this one and I am very pleased with the way it turned out-- I hope the new owner will be as well!

So.............Whats next Michael? Cant wait to see what you come up with. Gonna be tough to top the Sting-Grey.
Yes, that's going to be a tall order. I think the only thing that would top this car is one with a Skyline or GT-R motor and IRS!

1967.5 SPL311 Datsun Roadster 1600/2000 (Full Restoration Project)
1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider (Full Restoration Project)
1970 Triumph GT6+ (Full Restoration Project. Waiting up on the shelf.)

Yes, it will be tough to top the Sting-Grey. I have several other builds to complete this spring (SR20 Miata project, and a 280Z refurb with Strawfab), and then we will build the next roadster-- a dark-blue 1966, with similar specs to the Sting-Grey-- S15 SR20DE/5-speed, RX-7 axle, 300ZX brakes, etc. I'll start a new build thread once we get going on that car...
