Cool

After looking at it pretty closely It looks to me like a Mariah Motorsports body kit with some changes on the front valance...

Check them out at http://www.mariahmotorsports.com under mode 1...

I never thought I would ever see an RX-7 with a single wiper conversion...

Guys,
That is the Pacific wide-body kit with either some custom work on the upper front valance and headlights or a Japanese kit worked in to the kit. The Pacific kit looked very similar to the Mariah kit.

Pacific sold this kit through out the 80's. Mazdatrix used to carry them. They might still be able to get them, not sure..

I think the propane blew up and burned the car

There used to be a kit that replaced the license plate on the 79-80 with the red one. It was suppose to light up when you turned the lights on. A friend of mine had one, but it never did work right.

Yes I know it's a horrible paint job but I eventually plan to change that.

The front end was modified by the previous owner, he shortened the front bumper and made those flush mounted headlights. I would actually like to change them back to stock or perhaps redo the setup. It looks somewhat cheesy in person.

Is that red "RX-7" center piece a Mazda part or aftermarket? I have never seen one on another 1st gen.

Yea, that center piece was actually a very popular aftermarket thing in the 80's.. I'm sure there are still a few places you can get them from.

Lightbulb '83 LPG 13BT on eBay

I've decided to put the car on eBay to see what I can get out of it. If not enough I may part it out or at least try to sell off the propane conversion and turbo/intercooler. I already placed an ad for the turbo, intercooler and LPG conversion on thepartstrader.com but have only had a few responses. Guess we'll see how it goes.

Check it out at:

Thanks,
Mike
