my 84 fb

finally decided to get some pics up. I have a header 2.5" pipe no cats into a 3" bomz muffler she likes to blow flames lol. Other than that i have the t2 fan and alternator upgrade and thats about it. I paid 700 bucks for the car and i love it. not a problem out of it. I also have 95% of my t2 parts for my swap just need rebuild kit. but here she is in all her glory.

the car actually has very minor rust only in one spot which is in the right rear fender well but its being fixed soon i have been debating on painting the car black when i do my t2 swap this winter but i just cant get around how beautiful that blue is i think im just gonna repaint it the same color but not 100% yet. And the bumper is staying lol i am in love with it first time i have ever seen a three piece on a fb

i have been told that many times as well and allso i have custom body kit allway around. i am hoping to get it on the road for a month or more to show off because all the kids at my old school want to see it at the car meet. but no job means no money for the rx7 to be on the road and its road worthy now and work is hard to find. but if i dont have it on the road intill near the end of oct i will be cuting the hole kit off and remaking it BETTER then ever and less flat.

but remember its your car do what you want to it. like my civic i was told to lower it and put a mugen lip on it and 15inch rims go JDM. but na i rather have somthing that stands out like a body kit lowered of corse and my 15's i have and metel flake red paint. but keep it up
