Pics of the "garage find" RX7

bought it for $400 and it runs very well, 7200 miles on the re-build, next step is new seats and hood, maybe a new bumper, this ones kind of scratched. No rust the pics show the car better looking than it is (but not by much).

Enjoy

Jesse

Looks like a pretty clean S4, nice find! Just get a new FTP lens and you're set.

That is an extremely good find with a fresh engine not too bad of bodywork!

Wow, looks almost identical to my FC. I picked that one up for $400 as well. Only real difference is you've got a running engine. :P

Good find, bro.

I see you are in richmond. Where abouts? I'm in chesterfield.

Do you have any big plans for it? I've been working on my rebuild for a while now might could help you out sometime.

I am off of staples mill road in Richmond, my backround is an auto tech for six years (new to rotaries but the more I research them the more they make sense over pistons!) with some certifications to my name.

I love to help other gear heads if you are close to me and I have nothing to do!
