TN 87 Mazda RX7 Turbo II Build and Photos (Project Alice)

Ok ClubRX7...... i bought this car from a guy (second owner) that had it sitting in his yard for 1.5 years. And he also bought it from a guy (first owner) that also had it sitting for 2 years. So this vehicle has been expose to the elements of nature for 3.5 years. the interior was gutted when i recived the car. so 80% of the interior is gone and 20% has dry rotted. the engine was already out of the car cause the first owner was gonna use the engine on an airplane. the second owner didnt care about the engine cause he was gonna do the LS(juan) swap.

this is what i got.

1 1987 FC3S turbo II shell (missing interior)
1 13b turbo engine
2 extra iron that are now scrap cause of previous damage
1 headach cause i have to put it together!!!!


now that i got the car i am pieceing it back together. so this is gonna be a $$$ build (my pockets arent that deep). i work at nissan so i have acess to the shop, tools, and the information. Ranzo (who is also on this forum) is also helping me with this build. i will be posting up photos and progress with the build.

What color are you looking for? I have quite a bit of interior parts laying around. Sadly they are maroon.
