Days after pulling her out of someones backyard. Only paid $200. 1984 Gsl-se.



I cleaned her up and got her running good.







Got my hands on a glass sunroof.



Installed some 2nd gen seats.





Started stripping it down for the repaint.

 

Laid down primer.





I decided that the Doo Doo brown had to go. Audi red is what I picked.







I dyed the interior black, and painted the center console the same Audi red.

 

Here she is in all her glory!











Had a close friend of mine take some professional pictures.











Added some "flare".



Now to see if I can find any other guys around Raleigh, NC.

 

Looks great. Im curious how it would look with the side molding installed.

 

Thank you. I have been thinking the same thing. Just need to get my hands on a nice set of moldings.

 

nice paint job. i do think it would look good w/ a nice set of moldings.

 

Looks nice. The paint looks really good in the pics. I think it would look even better with some SA bumpers instead

You should make it down to Charlotte Cars and Coffee if you get a chance.

Looks great! Agree that the side moldings would add to its already great looks. $200? Can't beat that deal! I'm absolutely stunned when I hear stories of people picking gems like this up for next to nothing.

 

Nice work on the restoration. Like that shade of red paint.

 

Where did you find the original antenna? I need one too.

 

The antenna is actually from an N/A Miata (90 - 97). It works and fits perfectly.

 

Is that fixed antenna or motroized? Nice to find another Miata part that works with
our cars.

 

My very first RX7 was red, I haven't had one since 2009, been thinking about getting back into them and you post a picture of one of the best ones I've seen in a long time. Man that is a nice car. Who did the body/paint work? That is really good work. That car is really nice. Congratulations.

 

What is the steering wheel from?

 

Looks like stock s5.
