You left the fuel lines! and the piece between taillights, lock set, and mirrors; you should have kept those! Maybe should have kept doors and dash too.

Paul and I have stripped 4 or so FB's now so we have doubles and triples of those parts

The wing is a bit rough, I'll try to get pix. Most of the other parts are not for sale.

The rust had been fixed twice, even welded in new parts.
It would pop up somewhere else you could see how it just kept growing
from the rust bin , spread like crazy.

I get mad when I see pictures like that because it reminds me of the times people in my neck of the woods have sent cars to the crusher that were in much better shape. "It's just a parts car" they say. Yeah, uh huh. RIP

Yes, I know. I have sent 4 RX-7's to the crusher so far. Three because of rust one because it was wecked. (I got it for my 13B swap) Every time I "feel" so bad, but one must die so another may live.

Rain doesn't really hurt them.. snow doesn't either, it's the salt/whatever that they put down.

I've sent 1 to the crusher, but another is going to be on its way soon (both fc's, 1988 GX and 1988 TII).. One wasn't that rusty, but was an auto missing an engine.. the TII is a bucket of ****, FAR rustier than that gsl-se.

Make sure you grab all the wire and aluminum off of the chassis and bring it to the scrapyard yourself, you'll make an easy $50.
