Here's some pix of my 7, she doesn't look like much, but hey, it was only $300 and almost rust free (the only spot of rust is the non-original door which is getting replaced)

Here's a shot of the front


rear


Interior (yes, I do have my work cut out for me)


Has anybody ever seen these rims before? I'm assuming they are stock but I've never seen any like them.

 

I like the color of the door...

 

lol it orignally was silver, somebody painted it black though but under the hood and in the door areas it's still silver.

a silver 85 gsl was my first RX7 love, found one on a car lot with 135k on the speedo and $500 on the windshield. couldn't test drive it b/c of a broken door latch (replacement would have probably come off of this car ironically) I went back with a tow-dolly to pick it up and she was gone.

I may have it re-painted silver

I'm going to start on the interior soon, I've already got all the carpet and plastic pulled from the hatch area. I'm completely re-doing everything. I'm even building new door panels.

 

Looks good! No crumples, minor interior problems. I think you made a very good deal.

yeah, it's probably the best looking project I've gotten. When I was first asking about it, he told me it needed interior work... when he said that I started grinning b/c I've modified and re-done every interior of every car I've had... ever since my grandfather bought me my first car when I was 13 (85 Subaru GL-10 wagon... bougt for $300, sold for $2,000 by me at 15)

 

OK, so how is it that everyone seems to be stumbling into awesome parts cars, or even running cars, for $500 or less?

I guess I am blind...every car I see, from wrecks to pristine, seem to start at $2K and up to $6K.

Arghhhh!!!!!!

 

hey, I didn't even know this one even had a usable engine much less a running one (though I have yet to see it thx to my ignorance) It's got it's fair share of problems, like the clutch cylinders need to be replaced and I think it's got a bad heater core (a new one is in the front floor-board as seen in the interior shot) and I now have to replace the alt and igniters (which btw, anybody know where I can pick up some besides eBay)

 

I pm'ed you with a parts offer. Also see the for sale section for parts.




I really like the wheels. What size are they? Do you want to trade them?

 

I sent ya a pm but just in case ya see this first, they are 13's and in sweet shape.

If I get off early tomorrow I'm hoping to take each one off and clean the whole rim/tire. then they will look brand new

I got everything ripped out of the rear cargo area today. it's competely gutted from the seats back. I'm gonna start a new thread on my interior.

 

I have an altenator and other engine parts off a 1985 if you want to PM me and get my parts list.
