the sunroof was made by the original owner in the 80s, he was a plastics engineer.
The original owner sold if to his best friend in 81 so he could buy a 928...
The car has been covered and garaged its whole life, here in WI.
The interior is clean but for the drivers seat, which is badly torn. Im looking for a replacement.
I ended up replacing the entire ignition system, as it was deteriorated badly.
The yellow car is a '97 355, the many cars in the background belong to various family members. I own the rx7 and an 850 Turbo.

Sweet looking RX-7, Dude.

Since you're in the land of cheese, bratwurst and salty winter roads (I'm a Wisconsinite trapped in SoCal these days ), I take it you store that baby in the winter?

Awesome. No matter what people tell you, keep that car!

ive only had it a month or so. I sold my 20V-powered mr2 after trying to hunt down an electrical gremlin... the joys of JDM computers....
This car (though much slower) has been a more fulfilling experience: I can fix everything with a few hand tools...
I hope to hold on to the car for some time, though I will soon be in the market for a new track toy. I dont want to molest this SA making the nec. modifications to turn it into a safe and competent track machine.
So next season, FD RX7 or NSX? hmmmm

Catch my breadth. My goodness. Ouch, nothing else seems worthy. Fix it, love it, don't change it.
