Hah! Here ya go! I like this thread already.
Well here it is!





Makin a right turn out of a parking lot and some guy didn't see me, had to turn right really quick and BOOM there's the curb.


Last but not least, the one that hurts the most.


Close encounter of the deer kind, at about 65 mph. Thank god it was a baby deer. Though I did feel kinda bad about killing bambi.

Here is my 87 GX... it's not a junker, it just kinda looks like one till I get some body work done...

doors and body panels and hood and stuff really aren't that bad, it is just the few holes in the floor that are the worst... The nice part is that underneath doesn't have to look real pretty, as long as it is solid, strong and doesn't have holes, it's all good!



go to http://users.efni.com/~tvaughan/rx7/index.html to see more pics.

IT'S STILL GOOD, IT'S STILL GOOD!

Here's how mine looked prior to spending time in the body shop. It's going back this Tuesday because it was sideswiped and to fix a problem with the quarter panel.

heres the story you guys hope you enjoy it



Project Drift Machine, $50 88 NA RX7! Here is the recent project the $50 88 NA Rx7 for $50.... The frame was bent beyond belief which made it undrivable over 40MPH, it didnt have plates nor was it registered... so we decided to make it into this rediculous looking piece of art, with the strict purpose of offroad use only ... It was great fun for the week or so we had it, watching the different lights come on as we jumped it and drove it 40+mph over rocks, dirt and such.... and 1 saturday as we were "drifting" up one of the local dirt trails on the side of a mountain, we got stuck in a ditch!!!.... we tried and tried to get it out but our efforts were in vain, so we made the 5-6mile walk home in 100 degree weather... and came back with a friends truck about 3-4 hours later... to find tha the rx7 had been totally vandalized, all the windows smashed, and basically totally unpleasant to drive... so we tried to get it out anyway.. and this was some 73-74 ford f-150, and the back on it was very light, yet the motor had lots of torque, so by trying to push it out, we got the truck stuck... and kept making the ditch bigger and bigger.... so we tried to get it out but our efforts were in vain once more.... so... thinking we had gotten both stuck... as we were trying another technique to get it out of the hole... a GIGANTIC Ford F-550 must of been 20 feet tall with wheels taller then me and suspention completely over done, looked like something ment for bigfoot, and a GIANT American Flag on top of it... stopped, turns out it was a friends neighbor who we had asked help from earlier before we got the f-150, and they wanted cash... but I guess they changed their minds and decided to come up and help... so... they hooked up the winch to the f-150 first, and starts to pull it, you see the f-550 slowly inch forward... and the turbo on it spool.... SUCKER WAS LOUD!!... anyway... pulled the f150 out no prob... next was the rx7... they hooked it up and told us someone had to get in it to stop it from hitting their truck... so.. of course.. it being mine and a friends car, I got in... and they pulled it out of the ditch... car almost rolld in the process which was a tad scary but i hit the brakes and the car was out... Then... we lookd at it... and decided since it wasnt registered and we could get in big trouble for keeping it around... (as it has already gotten a parking ticket)... that we dispose of it... so... after the guys in the f550 left... we pushed it down the train a little, and then with the f150 rammed it over a clif.. where it rolled over onto its top... this being over 2 months ago, after a recent trip ... it still there today... were going to try and get some pictures of it over the cliff... but until then... heres some before shots for your laughing pleasure... LATER!
