My 1985 GSL-SE

How does a car from Texas rust like that. I have an 84GS from Texas and the thing is very near mint, other than the paint.

Somebody deleted all the photos of my brown 1985 GSL from earlier in this post (wonder why, there weren't any obscenities in there). So here they are again:

Revvin 85, what is the name of the brown on your car? I've been trying to decide what color to paint mine, and I think your brown is in the running. How far from the Peoria area are you?

Revvin85

datsun- the wheels are 15" enkies

thanks raygreen

and giglz-..im not completely sure on the color because it sat it a junkyard and was repainted by the previous owner after being crashed. and i live about 2 hours away from peoria and make commutes fairly regularly.

Revvin85 -

Any chance in getting together when you are in town, or letting me come to you and seeing the 7 in person? I don't know any other 1st gen 7 owners in the area to chat 7's with, or any other cars to look at that are together and running. I'm just getting started on mine.

Revvin85

that would be awesome considering there isnt anyone around here with a first gen either. but, i am only 16(doesnt effect my knowledge of rotary) and i dont know how my parents would feel about it with all of the news today. Ill pm you sometime im over there though. good luck with the never-ending project!

Congrats on having a 7 as a teenager! My tastes hadn't come around to a car that would handle well when I was your age. I understand about keeping yourself safe, never a bad idea. I'm totally fine with having your parents contact me and I would prefer that you have them do that before we get together. PM me if you want my contact info.

Hay 4giglz way dont you post pic of your car??????

I can't seem to figure out how to put them in the post. (Never tried it before.) I'll go to the info section and see if I can get it.

I just got it home from storage and it is currently still on the trailer. It is less than impressive at this point, and it is maroon. I bought it several years ago from a guy that was building it into a spec 7 road racer. He didn't want a brown racer, so he gave it a pretty cheep shot of maroon that doesn't clash with the brown interior. He didn't even fix the dings. Plan is to properly put it back together with some light mods to make it more fun to drive(street and autocross), but I can't for the life of me decide on how I want the final project to look. I figure this will probably be my only shot at restoring something, and I want to do it right and I want a car that I can be passionate about.

Post it on photobucket.com (it's free). Then link it here, it will appear like magic.

Lets see if this works... if it does, here are 2 pics, standing too close to a filthy neglected car. I'm going to try to rectify the filthy and neglected part, and if I ever get it off the trailer, I'll try to take some shots of it clean and standing a bit further away. In the next couple of years, I plan to create a thread of progress of the restoration and what mods I do to it. I figure progress to be painfully slow, as the plan is to have the car ready to teach our daughter to drive and autocross race in it. She is currently 2 mos old so i figure I have a shot at it at this point.

Thanks Ray, I'll try that next time. I didn't see your reply untill after I posted the pics.
