Cut up my Rx7 and flipped it upside down. PICS!

Well, it was time for my parts cars life to end. It WAS a '87 T2. Bent frame rails, nig rigged wiring, and patch panels; it wasn't worth keeping. I couldn't even sell it as a complete rolling shell with full interior for $350, so I parted it out and made almost 4 times what I was selling it for, and still have a basement FULL of parts.

Here are the pics of it on it's last leg.





My cousin being stupid


Cut my leg open on the roof, ****** was sharp!

reminds me when i got my friend soo hyped into oldschool datsun Zs, he goes and buys the first cheap Z he can find on ebay $800 280z shell .. picks it up and in the morning we realize its a rustbucket not worth restoring.. way too rusty holes everywhere.. so we just took eveyrhting we could and the 3 of us flipped it over to remove the suspension lmao
[IMG][/IMG]

i think the next day his dad cut the car up and the scrapped it
he got some money tho from selling teh good parts from it *that bottom skid plate was worth $$$$$ in its condition since they are hard to find*

^^^ your friend is an idiot for doing that to a z. trust me when i say, they can be brought back, but no kid could comprehend the level it would take.
anyways, reminds me of the 3 cars ive done that too so far. i love chopping the roof, its so much fun.

Yeah, it would have been even rustier.

I miss my Z car sometimes ('71 transition model) till I remember that I haven't had to replace the propshaft u-joints on my 7 lately and come to my senses.
I do miss the torque though.
