pm sent!

how hard was it to instal the rx8 seats?

It was a s**t-ton of work! lol
Grind off all the mounting tabs of BOTH the Mazda and Focus seats (I got used frames from the wrecker), locate and weld the Focus tabs to the Mazda seat rails.

Is this car fully painted or does it need work. I am confused as to what state the car is in for the price.

Sorry...the bottom pics with the primed quarters and fenders...
The pic with the roof rack is my older, F2 replica kit.

Just a heads up to anyone interested...
ZiggysSVT is coming up to see the car this Friday.
He has first dibs.
