pic of my car

I finally got a 7. I wanted one since i was like 3. It took me a while but this one was worth it for all the work that was done to it. Only problem was the motor was seized because the previous owner spun a stationary gear bearing. The rebuild went fine though .

Is it sick? It looks kind of green, and appears to be foaming at the mouth...

Just kidding. It looks good; congratulations.

looks pretty good, now you just needs some neet little 13'' rims on there, and a very small rap around 3 piece rap around spoiler just to accent it a little.

But its missing the "MAZDA" emblem from the front, now, if you bought a couple of those embelems and painted it the same colour, that would be just be bad ***.

Im all about debadged cars, i think the emblems make it look to mass produced.

On some cars the production badges just fit, on others they are just lame.

On this car, i would think having just the badge in the rear painted the same colour, just kind of "stealth" if that makes sense, would be pretty cool.

Man, I *have* to know what colour that is... Is there any way you can find out? It's definitely not a stock colour, so the plate in the engine bay wouldn't say... But it's an awesome looking car.

Thumbs up Sweet looking.

Nice car--glad you finally got a 7. I remember in 88 when my 85 stocker looked like that (but the factory white/beige color).

Anybody notice VB is now stocking even more 7 parts. Hopefully we can keep these first gens going for a long time.
