The Best Of The Worst Rx7's

I know you all want to see nice pretty cars but after looking at ebay and seeing what else there is out there (its a shame what people think is worth 300 nowadays) i have come to the conclustion that if there are people selling these peices of rust shaped like an rx7 ... there has to be someone driving them as well . no offence to anyone mine ha alot of rust too , but i want to see the ultimate ,not just rust ... but any rx7 you have seen that looks like it should be pushed into a river and forgoten !
dont have any shame people , lets see those trashed cars !!! lol

I don't see where this thread can go, "man, I like that fist sized dent over your rear quarter panel."

"yeah, its from a baseball actually."

mine has to be the worst of the flawlessly running. If you don't believe me, ask skewloose.

1>peeling grey hood on what was a red car
2>paint oxidized to orange
3>ben driver's side window guide, but I have foam sealing it
4>rear storage bins removed
5>rear speaker covers gone
6>no rear rubber mat
7>mismatched front and rear tires
8>no antennae
9>top windshield molding missing
10>greasy hand prints from when I replaced the engine 2 years ago
11>front dash cracked
12>seats cracked
13>numerous superficial rusting spots
14>roof liner is falling (how can i fix that)
15>original rims are heavily oxidized (car was like that when i bought it)
16>toggle switches for the a/c, fan and head light relays
17> front valence is croocked
18>radiator warning light goes off prematurely

outside of that everything is perfect, I kept the under body coating maintained, and no rear wheel well interior rust! The car had to have been in an aweful wreck before I bought it. No one ***** with my car in the parking lot and the drivers in nice cars give me the right of way! LOL!!

This thread fails. Why do we want to look at pictures of beat up rx7's? Why not get pictures of great looking rx7's to motivate us to make ours look even better?

Aside from that, there is that car domain thing that has the Hummer that ran over an FB. I think that one is the worst one I've ever seen.

+1 I remember when that thread went around. That H2 owner better be on the look out for Rx owners for the rest of his life. I heard some very heavy threats flying around.

Yeah, probably picked an FB, cause it couldn't climb anything taller. ESPECIALLY if it was an H2. Friggin posermobile P's OS.

Look! It is Jon trying to increase his post count!

Oh wait... I'm doing the same.

Anyway, I think this thread needs to die now. Its pretty worthless, and no one really wants to look at beat up cars. Unless they are beat up ricer cars... but then we'd be in the lounge and not the first gen section.

Umm, it never got started. I for one know where possibly the saddest looking FB ever is. I have to go purposely take a pic of it though. Ever seen the cars in barns deal for classics and musclecars? I think he was thinking along those lines. Not everyone has to share someone else narrow views? there are PLENTY of nice looking RX7's as close as your Google button.

i cant belive that this thread actually didnt turn into a big "hate zeke fest" lol , i was basically wanting to see other poorly kept rx-7's so that when some guys were like " i want to fix mine up..." they might not feel as bad when they go to get started , cause lets face it ... there are some pretty crappy rx's heh, just look at ebay right now !!
p.s. critters is pretty bad <.< ie: mice, gerbils, snakes, other vermin...

This car probably has more rust, engineering, awesomeness, hours slept in it, empty gallon jugs of iced tea, and miles on it than any other Best "worst" Rx-7

With Scrap at 6.50 per 100, almost any running car is worth 300, when it will bring 250 at the crusher.
