How did you get that rear quarter panel window out? I tried everything and couldn't break the seal.

I used a putty knife and a rubber mallot igot the entire top of the window free a quater of the bottom and front side then pried a little to hard and it shattered so i guess i'll have to scrap the tint off my windows

Unfortunately I got rid of two this year.

I purchased the damaged Silver S2 (FB) as a donor for the Gold S1 rolling shell. In my spare time over a 12 month period I transferred most of in to the Gold car which was meant to be a second track car for my nephew.

He moved back interstate and I secured the black S2 with a full cage welded in for a very reasonable price, so even though I had only ever driven the gold S1 up and down the rear lane once, I transferred it all into the Black car which is now my race car.

As much as I hate seeing old RX7's go to the crusher, there still seems to be an abundance of them here... Let's hope they come back as RX8's
