Talking My new series 1!!!!

i brought this a few weeks ago but couldnt figure out how to post pics....but now..SUCCESS!...hopefully

its a '80 series 1, manual,13b n/a, ext bridge, extractors, exhaust, 48mm ida webber, resprayed 2 years ago (but its really, really, really bad....so ill be respraying and airbrushing it)....

if all goes to plan and the 13b doesnt $H!T itself, it will have a bodykit (maybe a wide bodykit if i get bored) and some other stuff ive got planned....

but the worst thing is....havent driven it yet...

Very clean looking man! Everyone down there likes those turned down exhaust tips eh?
Good luck fixing it up, the paint looks good in the pics, but you say its not good, what color would you redo it?

Congrats DT! My fav color!
Looks like a nice solid car - great starting point. I know the Series 1 is pretty rare down there. All the usual Ozzie enhancements (ie modified Everything ) I see - does ANYone drive a stock RX7 down there?? Door mirror has to go ;p - didn't know Oz Series 1 came with the chrome license lights!?? Swap you a nice set of black ones!! (seriously! contact me off list if your interested... have extra OEM mirrors too)

lol all i know about the wheels....they have performance written on them...

SavannaGT-12aT - im still debating the airbrushing....but its good advertising for sum extra tax free $$$...and pretty much no one airbrushes in perth...

7aull - the side mirrors- will be changed asap...and dad has a STOCK series 1!, i have already been pm'd bout my lic plate lights...but sorry guys not selling them yet

the previous painters didnt scratch up the paint properly so the paint likes to peel off now, and there is plenty of overspray...i am going to be painting it black...i have no air con...yay...

82transam- i know! i looked at many rx7s lately...all of them had the droopy exhaust...but i need a quieter exhaust...so that will be changed soon...

i have a few ''changes'' i need to make to get my 7 how i want it..so as soon as the cash accumulates a bit more (this is going to be fun on $6 an hour)... i will post a progress thread
