My build started 27 years ago with just a bare shell with doors as first photo . Only 3 of these were built and only 2 remain it started out as a 1985 Series 3 rx7. I found who had all the molds and got Front guards [fenders] Nose cone and Front Bumper assembly. Had on rotisserie for 8 months cleaned and cut un wanted brackets and 2 pack painted it black. Built and fitted my race adjustable watts link assembly and fitted all panels. and body was prepared and high filled . Series 5 rx7 k frame with rack and power steering and t2 brakes fitted . 20b motor was fitted mounts made ,Turbo manifold made and full twin 2 1/2 in stainless exhaust made .Then it sat for 10 years until this year when my friend rubbed it back ready to paint . My son painted it last week and now i am slowly putting it back to gether .
