Seventhual healing
I bought this car on a whim, as a recovering alcoholic, It was meant to give me a newfound hobby, and something to look forward too..
today after a year and a half, it has done just that... After some modest repairs rebuilding, and adjustments the early 13b and side draft carb are an experience I will not soon forget! Replay tomorrow. .Still sober.. Cheers ...

Hey that's really cool, it's there any particular reason you picked a 7 as your hobby car?

grew up building VW Rabbits, and Sciroccos, Was always jealous of the true fun behind RWD... and the purposeful RX7 look within a perfect 80s era...

That AA group likes to claim that a certain religion is responsible for sobriety and happiness.

But I personally think the Rotary Gods do a much better job.

Very very pretty. Nicely done sir!

there has never been a better motivation to not drink, if nothing else, just for the fear of losing ones license, and along with it the ability to enjoy driving your RX7!

Great job, and keep it up!

Turning wrenches used to be a living. Now just a hobby. So much fun again!
