^ what he said... I'm also a body man... And with enough time and money you can fix anything... While I understand and appreciate you are trying to save a piece of rx-7 history, that's just ridiculously more trouble than I think it could be worth. But, as they say, opinions are like buttholes...

way to much work in my opinion

 

I'm baggin' what you're ringing up. But I have a guy that went to school for automotive body repair coming to look into it. Hence why I'm tearing the inside apart. He's also a friend so he'll lay it down for me straight, if its not as easy as cutting welding and some minor patch work an claims it will be a lot more than just finding a roller ill do that. And I guess I didn't clarify, I'm used to minor body repairs I've taken auto body in high school finished and restored my first vehicle (1970 Chevy pickup) and painted it with the help of my dad who's clueless on that sort of thing but cuttin and welding I'm leaving that up to a professional! Such as my buddy..

 

Sounds to me like you guys have sorta drifted away from giving opinions and into the territory of trying to tell him not to do it...If he wants to take on a project, that's his decision, but he doesn't need the entire forum telling him it's not worth it or it's way too much work or it should just be taken to the junkyard etc. etc.. Even if he can't make it into a stock factory rx7 there's still loads and loads of potential in that thing, I'd have bought it, too.

 

justin has a good point, but drew no offense to your buddy but they give those auto body school certificates to anyone that pays the tuition

 

 

 

Sweet photobomb.......

 

Haha ain't it the truth! Found a black 89-91 gxl for 800 bucks not sure if it runs just kinda drove past it asked a guy how much and he said he thinks the guy wanted 800 for it it got some cancer on the roof and moonroof but nothing compared to what the cost of the 88's repairs..well see where this takes me..post some pics and keep y'all updated

 

Just got her back from the exhaust shop

 

Dayum.

Love to see how she sounds having that echoing off the ground like that.

How did you attach those splash guards? I had tons of trouble getting mine to stick, they still don't look right. I see yours stick up a bit but that's nothing to how much mine do.

 

Shes sooo clean. Loving that exhaust too. What brand and size of wheels are those?

 

I used some adhesion promoter and body shop grade double sided tape for the rear valances. Exhuast sounds great! Wheels are cobra reps I painted bronze. 17x9 17x10.5

 

The 1st of the FC's (Pics 1-3), bought for some of its parts, It turned out to be a runner, thou after a run on the dyno a little fire set in on way home.
The 2nd FC (Pics 4-5), just play around with.. Still yet to get past sorting stage as other projects have held my attention.

 

New custom Bc Racing Coilovers and new paint on the wheels that I will soon be replacing, Until then, here you go....

 

I demand more pics of your car!!!!

 

^ if you go back, youll find plenty

 

That wheel color works really well with the blue.

 

^indeed. Your car is looking good eddie! What wheels do you have in mind? She's sweet!

 

I'll be doin a real photoshoot in the coming month. Up til now all my pics have been taken with my iphone!
