Finally Got A Pic Of My Baby

Heres my 80 RX7:
it looks like my hoods faded white, but it's just reflections.
I'll take more pics when I have the time!

Reminds me of the spoiler on the "infamous purple FB"...

I dont mind the height of it. Its just a little too FWD for me. Needs to slope up, not down.

Like the wheels my friend.
Those look like Antares or Momos in the star config.
How in the heck did you find 4 x 110 mm bolt pattern?

Can you still open the hatch? Looks like it may hit.

Drifter NO Chrome, it's the reflection.
and the wing, I dig it. =)

KOH have some good rims, that come with 4bolt pattern.
and no the spoiler isn't stock, I'm not sure what spoiler that is, I think the previous owner made it himself!
He gave me papers for all he put into the car (not much)
and didn't give me one for the aftermarket spoiler?

and Yes the hatch opens with no problems.

ahaha she's a metalic blue.
Yeah IT really needs to be cleaned, aha my hoods all dust.
it should be past it's safety this week.
and then i'll polish it up.

the owner before me, kept the body in a REAL good shape.
but I don't believe the undercarage has even been thought of in 27 years.
stock shocks, control arms, sway bars.
But I'll be purchasing all that from RB in the near future.
