Picked up another FB...
Well, since I could drive I've owned an RX-7 up until a few months ago. I've been feening for my wankel power. Well... the other day I picked up my new baby. It's an 83 RX-7 with about 180k on the clock. It's a nasty gold/tan color w/ tan/brown interior but the body is straight and overall very clean (a few dings and a rust spot on front facia). Currently no motor but good trans/rear is in the car. The car also has tan FD leather seats and the rare FC 2+2 seats.
When I get funding together for the project I plan to pick up a 13b ball and rebuild/port it and drop it in along with a posi rear. I will definately be painting it. I was thinking something along the lines of montego blue. Not sure if there will be room in the budget for that WW kit w/ the square fogs that I love on FC's... Anyway. After some paint and new wheels I think some juice is in order. Something along the lines of a 150 shot.
PS: The car was FREE!

Odd... at the bottom of the page it says we are allowed to edit our posts--however I can't find an edit button/link for the life of me.
So--anyway... everywhere I said "FC" in that last post... sub in "FB".... :x
[edit]Oh... so NOW there's an edit button... I guess you're not allowed to edit the first thread in a topic. Ah well.[/edit]

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
The gold '83 is the *****. The color is a little lacking, but if you do any changing it should be to Ford Gold. Montego Blue is for sissies. 
Yeah, two of my cars are Atlantic Blue... but I love GOOOOOWWWWLDDD!

By the way, 83 had a few options for steering wheels, or at least Ive seen quite a few for that year. The two spoke wheel as shown is in some 83s and more common in pre -83s. I had an 83 GSL and had a 3 spoke version of the same wheel, much better looking IMO. Ive also seen 83s with the 84-85 style steering wheel. I guess it just depends on your manufacture date or something.
