83 with working power antenna. a/c blows cold with r12. old mazda script floor mats. all origanal paper work (window sticker, pre-delivery inspection sheet, old warrenty papers on air conditioning & the car itself). heres a pic of my floor mats. also up untill i bought the car, the sun roof had NEVER been removed from the car, only cracked open using the crank, so i got to be the one to first un-fold the sunroof bag from the factory. i dont think theres anyone else on here that can say that, unless they're the origanal ower, which i'm not.

How about a 79 Savanna GT Model with Fender mounted mirrors, oh wait not that big a deal, but but but..... in the US not in Japan

Official "Factory Rear Seat"

OK don't like that one........ how about a whole rack of OEM bridgestone tires and NOS early rare style Rx7 alloy rims

You might want to keep in mind that the fenders are reinforced to hold the mirrors. You don't simply bolt the mirrors on and hope that use can see anything through the vibration of the mirrors.

RD doesn't post a lot, but has a rotary collection that puts all of us to shame and makes us look like amatuers, both in knowledge and rotarys. Search the other rotary section for pics of part of his collection, it's simply amazing.

He is also a serious restorer and has produced some damn fine vehicles. I would say he is the Jay Leno equivilant of rotarys.

Thanks for the compliments my ego is really boosted.

To answer your questions yes the Savannas (both the one on the right and left of that are also RHD) are being restored or rebuilt. My big problems are pretty much the same for all 3 cars.... I need series 1 JDM carbs as 2 are missing and the 3rd is a US spec one with horrible mods done to it. Aside from that 2 were rescued from parts car status the 3rd was purchased off ebay about 8 months ago. It has been a very very busy year for me we almost missed 7-stock because of it. I have moved most of the collection and all of the parts to our new shop about 3 miles from our old location (new much larger) Then a friend of my sold me his entire stash of parts NOS and used it took 7 days to box it up and pack (and i mean pack) it into a 26 ft truck with a trailer. so if the ones in the shop are a little dusty I am sorry I will get right on it.

BTW there are alot of guys out there that I would like to give props to that know their specific model much better than I do, but yea I do have alot of general across the board info and if it can help anyone let me know

Does anyone have pictures of tonneau covers installed? I have seen two different versions; one that looks like an SUV cover rolled up into a tube that you can pull across the cargo hatch to hide luggage. And another that looks like it mounts to the ceiling and has flaps to cover the rear windows. According to a brochure I saw the one for the Mazda GLC also works on the RX-7.

Also does anyone have any pictures of the luggage bar that mounts above the storage bins and keeps luggage from sliding into the back of the seats?

I have that chrome luggage bar, I bought it off of eBay a few years ago and have never tried mounting it. Not even sure how it does mount. From the looks of it, it needs 2 holes drilled for the bar to slip down through the floor, then a screw in each L angle tad holds it down. If you have an idea exatly where it does mount, I'll see if I can mock it up in the shell and take a pic.

So does my ego boosting help in locating a clutch pedal set for my REPU. lol. Keep up the great work. If I ever get back to Texas again, I'll need to pay you a visit. Do post more, especially pics and knowledge, the forum needs more educated info than we get most of the time.

Fwiw, I'll be happy to part with the auto tranny, complete with the flex plate and torque converter. The odometer shows under 60k, iirc. I also need the grill emblem, the po sold it off, along with the carb, intake and oil cooler. The last 3 items I don't need, but the emblem would be nice.
