The action star posted a picture and suggested that he was raring to go -- as production began to finish the seventh installment in the franchise -- on Facebook on March 12.
Diesel wrote about getting back to work after Paul Walker's sudden death, and how the event caused production of the movie to stall.
"The transition into that Dom state of mind has always been an interesting one... only this time there is added purpose, a collective goal to make this the best one in the series.
P.s. The long awaited completion of Seven, begins..."
He also posted a picture of himself standing in front of a mean ride, with clear blue skies and an endless road in the backdrop.

It was also recently being suggested that Paul Walker's brother, Cody, might be being reconsidered for his role as production for Fast and Furious 7 begins.
An inside source said that after a string of meetings following Walker's death, filmmakers realized that they need someone who bore a physical likeness to the late actor in order to finish the film. Finding a 'double' for Walker would help them film necessary scenes.
Walker died on Nov. 30 in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. He was the passenger in a car being driven by his friend, race car driver Roger Rodas, who also died in the accident. The speeding car hit a tree and instantly burst into flames, causing both the actor and Rodas to die on the spot. The actor was headed home after attending a charity event for his foundation, Reach Out Worldwide.
Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow.
