Here's a picture so you guys will stop calling me Dude!! LOL

 

Don't pick on me...that's what I need to hear...I'm still learning about alot of this. So is that why he only referenced one as a GSL? What would the other be called besides SA? And how can you (I) tell?

 

Nice find. We need bigger/better pics, though (of the car, I mean ). I knew you were a lady, but since it is almost all guys on here, people just assume you are a guy until the learn otherwise. Personally, I think it is nice to have some ladies on here that are into 7s. We have only had a handful of 1st gen ladies on here since I've been on here and most of them aren't around any more.

Just stay away from the lounge. The "leghumpers" will chase you off!

That tail piece on the '80 is pretty rare and probably worth some bucks if it is in good shape. Good luck. I hope you can get 'em going.

Need a bigger photo dude

 

All '79 and '80 or SA rx7's were either S model or GS model, Plus the rare '80 LS model.

GS had a sunroof, S didn't. So you probably have the GS model.
Its awesome you noticed I only referenced the one, which I did on purpose, because in the previous post you only mentioned the '79 year and I didn't check the first post to find out what year the second car was.

Sorry I forgot my smiley face on my last post, sometimes I let out a bad post and I honestly didn't mean to pick on you.

 

Thank you! I went to the lounge once and it was disgusting so I'm glad we finally got our own place to chat that isn't like that. I was wondering about the tail piece. It's in pretty good shape. The words are starting to flake at the bottom but it could probably be repainted on the inside if done right. It's not chipped or anything. My dad is trying to find a way to make it fit on the 79...LOL I told him not to even think about it! The pictures are from my cell phone and they come out smaller than the ones from my digital camera. Unfortunately my digital has gone wacky and all the pictures come out kinda blue unless you take them indoors. I'll do the best I can, though! Dad and I only paid $350 for both cars with a shell trade in and that included delivery. I think we got a steal since both have motors and trannys. They only major thing they are missing besides the wheels are the cats..someone cut them both out. At least the exaust systems can be replaced. I happened to have 2 extra sets of tires/rims and they fit really well. Just need new tires. I even have another motor that supposedly ran when given to me a few years ago. Didn't fit any of my FBs so maybe it will fit one of these if needed. Well, I'm off to work on them now. Thank you for not making any comments to make me feel stupid. I'm still learning...

 

GS had the sunroof as an option. I have an 80 GS and it has no sunroof.

 

You are forgiven...I feel better now. I'm gonna be in Detroit, MI in May and for a second there I thought I was gonna have to extend my trip and come find you to kick yer hiney. Respect your elders...I'm almost old enough to be your mother. LOL And thank you for the info on the trim levels. I've only owned FBs and to be honest...it gets confusing sometimes trying to distiguish which is which. As far as I can tell now...I have all GS models...79, 80, 82 (RIP), and 83. Someone really should fix up a spreadsheet which checks off the different things each model has...That would be really helpful. I'd do it, but obviously, I don't have all the information to add to it...LOL

 

I guess I had brain fart, I should have said the S had a 4 speed and the GS had a 5 Speed, Not considering the auto tranny.

 

im gonna strain my eyes lookin at that picture ha

 

....there's a car in that picture? Just kidding! I'm just wondering why most people don't look at the person's USERNAME. I mean, there were two clues. "Kymber" in the username and the fact that in your first post you mentioned your husband. Yes, I'm one of the few members who actually reads.

Nice finds, by the way, but yes, we need bigger pictures! Damn, wish I could get that lucky at an autograve yard. Are you going to part out both of them or make one of them a wicked ride? Maybe you did already answer that question and I don't read as much as I should.

 

Congrats on the find! when the weather is not so cold I will visit my local yard to see what I can find in the way of 7's. doubt I'll find anything but you never know! oh btw on a personal note 100th post! woot I'm no longer a forum noob!

 

ok, here you go:

from the 1980 brochure:


from the 1982 brochure:


from the 1845 brochure:


from the 1985 brochure:


you may have to save them to your computer and zoom in on them to get the full reading effect i have more from later years if anyone is interested!

 

[QUOTE=85 FB;7613405Are you going to part out both of them or make one of them a wicked ride? Maybe you did already answer that question and I don't read as much as I should. [/QUOTE]

How about 2 wicked rides?? They both have enough of them there that it's not unfeasible to think about restoring them both. (Not to mention the multitude of interchangeable parts from the 82 donor car) First things first...gotta see about motors...still can't unsieze the 79 and am thinking there may be bigger issues...on a good note...the motor i have in storage turns really easy, but I don't know what year it is. It wouldn't fit my friend's 85 and I know that it won't fit 82-84 because it won't fit my 83 and all those did. (it seems the manifold pattern was different or something). It seems to be set up for a beehive cooler so that knocks out anything before 83....How can I tell????

 

The red rear panel you have hasn't been made in nearly 10 years, but the few that I've seen have all held up well. It wasn't Mazdatrix or Racing Beat, but a similar company that made them back in the day.

What's the plan for the cars? You found two in a yard but left them there, only to bring home the GSL? You didn't bring home 3 cars, did you?

The spreadsheet's not a bad idea, actually, but I'm afraid to make one. People will chew your *** if you get one box wrong....

Good find.

 

As someone pointed out to me in a earlier post...there was no GSL in 79 or 80...and I brought them both home! LOL The silver car is the 79 and the green car/racing stripes is the 80...I have an 83, as well (see my avatar!) I know what you mean about the scary part of a spreadsheet, but I have gotten lots of info here lately since I misidentified one...LOL

 

Just wow! Great find on 2 jewels!!

 

Detroit, eh? you may want to get ahold of Kentetsu and look into making a meet while you're in the area.

 

I just may do that. It'll be nice to actually meet someone from the club. I'll probably be flying up but I can bring pictures of all the girls! Who knows...I may consider driving the 900 miles just to show off one of them!

 

So, what are you gonna do with three cars? Do you have a plan yet?

 

She's probably going to build them up so wicked we'll start flocking to her to teach us a few things. <----shameless *** kissing plug.

 

This thread is useless without kymber39845's pix. Large pix that is, not that thumbnail that wont expand.

 

Wacky, are you on track for 10k by 2008, or are you gonna be filling up some obscure forum on here with senseless posts?

 

yeah, all nonsense. lol

 

LOL Yeah, the plans are 10, 8, and 6 year old boys at this time. I'm thinking that we could get them absolutely jam up so that thier first cars will be worth having. Of course, they are learning a thing or two along the way. I want them to appreciate them. My 6 year old has had his eye on my 83 since he could see. He calls it "our" car and yes, he has turned a few wrenches on her already! My 10 year old wants the 80 and my 8 year old nephew wants the 79. They have already agreed on who's is who's...it's funny.
