Just shot some photos for a few of you to enjoy, it's my First RX-7...

Put the wheels on today, not exactly a nice visual match to the car but it's a start in the right direction. Better handling than the 185/70/R14 winter tires that were on there before!

 

Not bad. How much did you pay?

 

What are the future plans?

If it were me i would leave it the way it is and keep it clean. Its looks real nice

 

Man I remember when I bought my gxl in that color.

 

Thanks, The car was a Grand, guy wanted two, I put in my offer and he called me a week later to ask if I still wanted the car...


Not sure, such a good deal on this car, guy didn't know what he had or just didn't want to give it the attention that it required, a little spit and polish and I think she could be resellable for at least 3000. Newly rebuilt 13B, and tranny shifts like butter. I'll probably enjoy doing the small resto jobs and also enjoy driving it in the meantime...

Most of my cars previous were all boosted, so I really want an S5 TII as you could imagine.

 

clean body+ rebuilt motor. thats a steal

 

niice car, congrats!

 

very clean start... gnice find..... paint those wheels though...lol

 

Thanks for the nice comments!

 

Body looks clean, just needs a 5 lug swap and wheels that weren't meant for a fwd car.

 

looks nice

 

Nice!!! I wish I could find an S4 that clean for a price like that.

 

So the journey begins!

 

You have acquired a unstoppable void in your wallet called rx7.

Congratulations! You are feeling more broke by the second!

 

looks pretty nice honestly.

PM me if you're looking for a set of S5 tails.

 

Congrats, now all you gotta do is sell that thing and get your S5 TII!

But seriously, very nice find. You should just stick with it and build it up. Maybe a TII swap. It's unbelievably clean for an S4. More pics?

 

nice...... really good deal too. We all started somewhere and that is a hell of a begining point.

Looks good, needs dropped a little bit. But it's still super clean.

 

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, I still think it's a 50 foot car...

A 5 lug swap is on the list of things to do, as well as coilovers (or springs, whichever I find a good deal on first) we'll see how much I can get done this winter in Minus 30C and no garage!

On the cheap, with lots of care. More pictures to come soon!

God I love that color

 

^ +1. Do want.

 

really? my 86 base is that same A1-satin gold and i thought it was the most hated color of the FC's. does yours have the red interior?

 

nice, congrats and enjoy it

 

We're twins, but mine is no where near that clean looking and it cost me more...

 

Does anyone find it odd that I see the remnants of a GXL sticker on the fender, and yet its 4 lug?

Regardless, nice steal
