Have You Ever Seen This Front Clip??

Hey guys, I have a bookmark in my toolbar on my browser that searches RX7 on CL as soon as I click it - for convenience. And today I clicked on it and found this car

1985 Mazda RX7 gsl

with an interesting front clip/spoiler combo. I've been looking at getting a GSL parts car for mine to do a rear end swap, and possibly power locks and windows.

Just wondering if you guys have seen that front end before, since I haven't.

If I wasn't starting college in 2 days I would already be on my way to pick up this car. But I know that's not a good way to start spending college funds.

Looks like a shitload of bondo. Crack city!! Noble effort but definitely a LARGE project fixing the front end.

Like Mike said.

What a PITA since they made the fender/bumper combo one piece.

I saw those cracks on the passenger side of the bumper and was curious, bondo is definitely the answer. Not a terrible looking car, wouldn't mind a track car though
