I decided to make this thread, cause I wanna see what your guys cars looked like when you got them, and how they look now. Also list all the work, and modifications that you have done. I hope everyone is like me, and takes lots of pics.

I'll start

1984 RX-7 GSL

I paid $1500 Canadian for this car, in may of this year (2007)

It had no rear hatch, horn, 4 ways, left rear blinker didn't work, clutch hydralics were shot, had holes in to floor, all the brake lines going to the rear were rusted out, all rotors were shot, radio didn't work and pads and the body was starting to get some cancer spots. It wasn't getting the attention that an RX-7 deserves.

Now everything is fixed (did all the work myself.) I also Painted the silver interior inserts, and undercoated the car myself. De rusted and painted many of the components under the hood, and painted the trim around the windows.
New front and rear rotors and pads, new clutch master and slave cylinder, new Pirelli tires, painted and polished the wheels, fixed all the rust on the body, ran new brake lines. All I can think of.

Pics.

nice job

I especially like the rims and the centre stereo surround.

Your stereo surround is cracked in *exactly* the same place as mine, lol

Nice pics Mr. Fly! Why does the oil filler go over there by the distributor?

lol i find this funny allways brings me to a post i read....


"Boy your better off doing Drugs because theres no rehab for rotarys"

yeah i went over the top and tore down 10 engines one after another..
last one i timmed my self and did it in 45mins lil help of some white stuff

 

where do you get the red caps to plug off holes on that rebuilt 12a????

 

^^^ Im guessing it came from the shop like that.

 

Pettit sticks those in all of the holes on the motor when they build them. I saw some for sale somewhere, but unless you're building engines for people, I'd suggest using racer's tape. (It's on my beehive)
