Paul and I in Junkyard land part 2
 

Another fine day in junkyard land with power tools!

First we had to build a low rider!

It was a fun day taking even more parts off the donor cars, now more parts that need cleaned, sand blasted and painted, will it ever end?

that equals rotary abuse :( im gonna cry now

:nono:Time for a bottle of JD, old number7........ Maybe, I can forget what I saw, and prevent some night mares..... I am gonna go cry with Mike, now:sad:

Please, please, please tell me that's not what's going to happen to my RX7... LOL

"no comment"

Well, he did say it was a donor car, didn't he? Looks like he got most of the bits and pieces...if one must die so that others might live...

Got to get parts one way or another...

All RX-7s go the the junkyard sooner or later... :(

I made the mistake of reading this thread before going to bed. I had nightmares all night about RX-7s getting stripped and crushed. :eek: Then I woke up and found a new real-life nightmare, but that's a different thread...

I'm too afraid to look at the pics.

All those car parts have gone to good homes, or are waiting for a good home :)
The one SE had an independent rear suspension - it was so rusted it was no longer attached.
Beats having the cars sitting in some backyard rusting away.
take the parts off while they are still usable.
and we all know how hard it is to find certain parts :)

The plan is to keep it in one piece, unless the rust is too bad :(

I'm gonna have to do some shopping down there :) i need a front strut housing, a steering arm (driver's side is way bent - so THAT's why I have such evil bumpsteer!), some OE converters, and now it looks like I need an amp :(

Back half drag car! :evilgrin:

man that make me cry.:D

yep we gotta keep hush on this subject

like the movie where the plane went down and they had to eat people

If that's the same car that they showed before... the bodyshell was garbage anyway, all coming apart at the seams. Not pretty. :(

MAX you an "Paul" are monsters............MONSTERS!!!!!!!

LOL that blue first gen on top of the little white building looks like it was trying to escape. Someone save it! :D

I'm curious how they did it, got any pics?

What he means is the rear suspension was INDEPENDENT of the body - the body was so rusted nothing was holding the rear axle in anymore. :D

Here are some pix of the "IRS" :)

---WARNING--- NOT FOR THE TIMID!

Ahh... cleaning, sandblasting and painting..... Glad it's over!

the same fucking problem i use to have with my first rx7 but mine was so bad the sping and the upper link came inside the car. bsicly the rear driver side.

How hard is it to learn how to use a plasma cutter and MIG or TIG welder... (What the hell do MIG and TIG mean anyhow? Is it any different than an acetelyne torch?)

I need to cut wheel wells out of some car that someone put the front end into a pole and put them in my rusted out wheel well areas, kinda like Setzep did.
