Surface rust on floorpans:

 

Wire brush + coat:

Could've done a much better job with the paint, but who's gonna see back there anyway haha.

 

Found some nice RX-8 bucket seats:

720 4x4 bumpers were black, 2wd were chrome. Black looks better

Same here, I really like the black accents with the white. Also, I just took apart the head and I have a few questions:

 

1) Where can I find a replacement exhaust valves and valve seats? The timing chain came loose and one of the valves got bent; none of the shops on island carry replacements for the Z22.

 

2) The exhaust manifold on my truck is rusted to hell. Think it's worth it to go for a header or just look around for a replacement manifold?

 

Thanks.

 

Edit: Just went and replaced the whole head, all good now
