Heres a pretty nice widebody on ebay if anyone wants a new(used) 7. Its pretty good overall. He doesn't even know what it is really(xr7), whatever. Well here it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1985-...QQcmdZViewItem

 

Nice find there Toes. I've been trying to find a set of fog lights like those, or a pics of them installed for my wb. Now to find out what brand they are. The body work an kit install looks very good, other than the painter didn't put the clear rock guard shield on the front of the rear fenders.

My only 2 gripes is the red and gray interior doesn't do it for me and when I saw 13B engine in the listing, I was hoping for a nice fat old style 13B carbed one. Whoever did it though spent quite a bit of time making it look like a factory install.

 

XR7? huh? typo?

 

typos like that mean less bidders. hmmm (cracks open piggy bank...)

 

Definitely a typo. That thing is ******* sweet. I love the widebody in red. Even the interior looks to be in good shape.

 

Oh shucks. If it were this time next month I would so buy it as a christmas present for myself!

 

I am debating on whether or not I should get rid of both my FB's instead of just one and try to buy that one instead.

It won't happen, but I'm thinking about it nevertheless.

 

I'm debating on if I should *not* keep a PS3 and then use the profits to buy a second car and insurance.

But I wanna PS3 to be a pimp and invite peeps over to chill and play games.

 

Widebody > PS3.

However, there are always loans for cars. lol

*think family, think family, think family*

 

I don't think its a typo, in 3-4 seperate fields the guy calls it a XR-7. Makes me wonder.

 

I was thinking the same thing driftfb.^

 

Its the same widebody as yours trochoid right? Definatly widebody over a ps3.

 

Yep, same kit both Dan S Young and I have. That's why the seller spent so much finding wheels to fit it.

 

Yep, i knew it was the same as yours. Those wheels on his look pretty good with it.

 

Pretty nice.
Id be more a fan of the interior if he had just kept the floor carpet and seats red,then gone gray everywhere else (like what I did with gray&tan)
Never much liked the huge widebodies with that "step plate" in back,but it does look well done.
Heh,heh.....maybe more people will assume its a P.O.S. Mercury XR-7 and pass it up.....

 

That step plate in the back is a shin killer.

 

You can say that again, brother ! Mine's heading back to the body shop in a few weeks and inner fender rash repair is on the list. Did/do you use the kind you cut and apply ? or the spray-on ? before or after clearcoat ? Steer me right, cuz.

And btw, my pet peeve on that car is that the outside and interior is passable, but pop the hood and it looks like a 21 year old car. I loves a clean, popping engine compartment.

 

yeah doesnt look half bad, ive never seen a wide body

 

Funny that came up,
I just installed rear rock guards on my widebody a couple weeks ago.Kinda went for the Porsche 930 look back there,I think it looks cool.
I used black vinyl and my super fancy vinyl cutter to get it all perfect.We decal our own work trucks and vans,so having a computor controlled vinyl cutter is awesome.

hmmmm...interesting....put a supercharger on it and you're done.

 

Sharp looking car, I just wish the widebodies weren't such money pits. But I guess any 21 year old car built properly is going to be a punch in the wallet.

I would have to guess I have about $15, 000 invested into mine as far as parts and stuff go. Thats without the diff, engine, and making it all work...

But if I was to do it all again I would in a second...

 

Nice car.. not a bad starting price

 

I didn't use a protector on mine because my paint is a single stage urethane, it takes 80 grit paper to even scratch this paint. It's nearly as tough as Imrom epoxy. As far as what I would use on a good paint job, probably the spray on stuff. I don't know how well the 3M protector would lay out on the compound curve.

 

I like how low it sits.

 

Does your's sit higher? That's about how mine sit with the Eibachs. I could probably go with a lower profile tire on mine, but I have enough trouble getting in and out of the driveway as it is. The grass does make it appear lower than it really is.
