Description
This old Mazda RX-7 was a long way from the iconic VeilSide RX-7 from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
So we decided to give this forgotten FD3S a complete transformation.
The car was completely stripped down, from the interior and exterior to the engine bay and chassis. We repaired and refinished the body, restored the undercarriage, rebuilt the engine, refreshed the interior, and brought every detail back to life.
To complete the transformation, we ordered a genuine VeilSide body kit and spent $20,000 bringing this legendary Tokyo Drift look to life.
After months of restoration, fabrication, painting, assembly, and countless hours of work, this old RX-7 finally became the car we had envisioned.
From a forgotten RX-7 to a Tokyo Drift icon.
This is the full transformation.
