Mirrors - Where can I get them?

I am a new RX-7 owner, should have been one a long time ago. I have a beautiful 79 - take a look see if you like http://www.clingen.com/79

Anyways, I would like to buy new mirrors as the ones I have rattle when I shut the door, badly. The passenger one I can just touch and it rattles. Also the mirror is pitted.

Where can I get some new/used ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

THAT is one incredibly beautiful rex! Original paint?
Ask around on the forum, also under classifieds, that's where I found some for mine.
Congrats, I'm sick w/jealousy!

First, yes the paint is ORIGINAL. I even have the sales slip from new purchase and all the history of the car. The guy I bought it from kept all the oil change receipts and all the work he had done on it. All minor, water pump, plugs, brakes etc. Nothing major.

I was just sitting on the can last week when I saw this ad. I waited a day or so to tell my wife. I asked her 'Do you remember those RX-7 cars?'. She said 'Yeah!'. Lets get one.


The guy didn't have it outside at all. He lived in the woods with a nice garage to keep her nice and toasty :-) He really wanted us to have it because we 'appreciated' it.

I also have some mirrors. Electric, and then I recently got an 85 Rex with manual mirrors. I dunno if these were the same as what would be found on the earlier cars, but they look just like yours.
PM me.
