Finally back in a 7

For 1500, I think I got a hell of a deal.





She's a bit rough, but like i said for 1500, I couldn't pass it up.

I love the wheels and the fender flares. With some paint and coilovers to lower it, it will look awesome. What size are those wheels?

Pretty sweet for 1500, are those datsun Z flares adapted to fit? Methinks pull off any remaining side rubber trim, change fender repaint and roll

It's an 84 GSL, and I'll get some up tomorrow.

Previous owner put the flares on, but i think they are. I was thinking the same thing, maybe flat black until i can budget out for a pro to do it.

Thanks, I haven't had an RX7 in my life for over a decade, don't think a thread jack would hurt any, lol

Lol, that's why I did buy it, and the complete exhaust header back to a RB rotor muffler, it's sounds awesome.
