Hi, I've been hovering around this site for a while now, never owned an RX-7, but always loved them. So I jumped at the chance to pic up this one for $500 can. It needs some love, brakes, e-brake cable, choke cable, muffler, and some minor aesthetic touches. But, it was repainted a couple years ago, rebuilt 12a the same year, so Im laughing. Anyway, I thought I would post some pics of what will be consuming all of my time and money for the next few weeks...



Ill be losing this horrible e-brake handle...

 

looks pretty much like what my car is going to except ive shaved the side lights off it, pretty good deal for 500 bucks. Nice project car!

And I should say, pay some attention to the engine bay, removed the rats nest, cold start assist, hot start assit, all the pollution control stuff (if you can go emissionless where you live of course) it will clean the engine bay right up!

 

mmm bring the life back into that virgin

 

nice project car and yes, please remove the e- brake handle!!! It's hideous!

 

Nice man congrats, sweet color too.

Thanks for the compliments.
The emissions stuff will be removed once the immediate problems are adressed.
The paint is mint, it just needs a coat of wax. its a nice mettalic to.
And Im sure Ill be around this site alot more now...

looks good. as for the e-brake handle, it would look better if it and the boot were black instead of red.

 

Nice!!! :d

That's a sweet deal Jay! Half the price of mine and less travel time to pick up!!!!
I agree you have to lose the e-brake handle, it hurts my eye's lol.

Nice Start, must say the interior looks great from the pics, But I also have the Burgandy/brown sun bleach so I alway's am amazed bye the Grey ARea!!!

 

Congrats. You beat me by about 500 bucks on my 85 GSL-SE. I have some of the same things to do, some brake work, some general clean up. Your paint looks better than mine though.

 

Nice, good luck with her. I'm just starting to figure these things out myself.

 

Looks good.
