Got another one...

I need to remember that RX-7's are not Pokemon- I don't have to catch 'em all. Still, getting this one at auction for what I did I really can't complain about. The plan is to rebuild the blown engine and transfer it into my 'vert. It'll be tricky given the 'vert is a S4 and this an S5- but I don't figure on it being done until around this time next year anyway, and everybody needs a hobby. :P

A few (bad, since this was really late after getting it home last night) pictures below.

How good is the body and what are you going to do with it after pulling the drivetrain?

Amusingly, I met him last night as well as I was locking it up after the tow truck driver dropped it off- apparently he lives just down the street from me, though I'd never seen the car around the area before (just sitting at the dealership). I felt a bit stupid after the fact for not asking him about the specifics of what all it has on it. I'd rather not say what I got it for- it was probably more than what I should have paid for it, but accounting for the parts on it that I want it works out as being a good deal in my book, which is what matters to me.

The body on it is in pretty good shape- it's got a few dings here and there, and there's a hole in the lower driver's side of the front bumper (you can see it in the pic), but otherwise it looks really good IMO. I don't currently have any plans for the body after pulling the drivetrain and other stuff that I want to swap into my 'vert (shocks, springs, wheels, etc.- I've got stock parts to put back on it). I have a friend up in Cinci who might be interested in it, but otherwise I'd probably see if I could get a good price for it as a roller. I'd much rather sell it as a roller than part it out simply because I already have a 'vert to part out at some point (and would like to spend my time enjoying driving my 'vert than constantly taking apart other cars :P) and it's almost too nice to tear apart.

Pull the engine and put it in your vert? WTF? Pull the engine, rebuild it and put it back in that car, sell the vert. Better than any vert for damn sure.

Yeah, I thought about what you had said about there being a red turbo down here when I first saw it and wondered if it might be the same car.

Heh. Didn't think about that, though it doesn't worry me a whole lot- the previous owner knows where I live and half the people here seem to know him anyway. ;P

gxl87turbo I'll keep in mind that you're interested in it- though one of the reasons I picked it up was the I wanted the wheels off it for my 'vert. They're one of the few styles I've seen that I think will look as good on it as the stock BBS wheels do.
