Soooo I got a free 1983 RX7. For the most part is a very clean. It runs but needs a good tune up. Before i start modding it I want it to be pretty good and clean. I'm going to try and document everything I do with it and keep a running total of what I spend.

 

 

So far I have done the following.

-Removed A/C
-Removed Rats Nest
-Removed Sub Zero Starting Fluid
-Pulled Stock Exhaust off
-Installed RB Header
-Got it to Idle almost Perfect
-New Plugs, wires, cap and rotor

Next up will be building the exhaust, cleaning up the bay and cleaning the interior a little bit. The leather on the seats are in great condition!

 

Don't forget the basics like all new fluids, cooling and heater hoses!
- and Mel - don't ruin a perfectly good hobby by keeping track of what you spend

looks like a good start! will you beable to clean up the existing paint or will you need to respray?

 

Forgot to put that on the list but I do have all new fluids for the car. I wanna keep track on how much I spend on it to keep me in check. My other cars need some loving too!

I think the existing paint will be great cleaned up. I did test clean a small section of the car and it turned out great.




Next issue after the exhaust is all done up is replacing the ebrake cable that snapped.

 

Nice! I really like the color!

 

she's for sale!

 

That didn't last long You should at least drive it around for the summer to enjoy all the hard work you put into it!

 

why?
