TN Caleb's New FB .::56k BEWARE::.

Well I would like to start by saying my name is Caleb and I purchased my first RX-7 abot two weeks ago. I joined back when I was hot and heavy about my 89 MX-6GT (hence the username) Just wanted to post some pics of my 82 GS up to share with some fellow enthusiasts.
Also there is alot of pics, I kinda get camera happy with a new car!

Wow, yours is beautiful man. My FB is far from being that clean and it has 15k less miles, lol. IMO though you miss alot of the RX7 experience with an auto tranny, but sexy car nonetheless!

I envy it man, that thing is showroom quality. You rarely see 27+ year old cars cleaner than that, not to mention an FB.

Well funny story about those waffles, the previous owner was ran off the road and hit a sidewalk taking out the left rear wheel and axle, I replaced the axle and tried to find one wheel to replace the bent one. With no luck I ended up buying these wheels off a 79 a guy was parting out locally. After hours of stripping layer after layer of spray paint I threw a fresh coat on them and was set. A day later a guy I have never met before came by work and gave me a set of original wheels. But all ready had the tires mounted on these so they will stay untill the next set of rubber goes on!
