Repair The 91 Auto

My Rx-7 is kinda f*ed up if you know what I mean, theres minor damage on everything, interior is tearing/broken. Outside is messed up. The good part is its very nice looking if the paint was buffed out and I recleaned the inside it'd look 3 years old like a 15yrold owned it =]

www.cmanns.com/rx7 <-- Pics.

Could someone post easy things to repair and where to buy them, I'm also into some performance mods, I currently don't drive the car but I expect to have my permit in about heh 3 months or so and once I get this license the car is already mine x]. Basically the interior needs to be fixed its the BLACK fake leather stuff like the e-breaks cover cracked and the fake leather came off so I need that replaced, the steering wheel will NEED to be replaced soon so it too, the mirror covers for the inside are BOTH cracked ugh iono why i think I hit one to make it stick back to the car but one cracked on its own, the center air grill i hit it and one fin cracked, the rear bucket things that you can lock stuff in ALSO broke over time. So if you could just list some ebay parts and what not (not EXPENSIVE) I don't got a **** load right now to spend I'm going to convince my dad to buy stuff. We also need a new light lense so I just deicde to buy 2 instead of one I crashed it backing up so if someone can also show a NICE looking lense but not 300+ bucks thats kinda rediculous =D. I don't think I can do exhaust tho if you know of a nice kit thats not 400 bucks and dosen't sound like 120+ DBA I'll maybe buy it this car is too slient lol I sware all the noise is at the enginebay so yeah I'd love to buy a muffler kit.

well, you're asking us to list parts for you? only you know what you need so get to looking'.. all the resources are on this site for you to look through, plenty of soundclips of exhausts for you to listen to and decide on, search through ebay for parts you may need or post a WTB in the for sale section.

for the paint, pick up some TR3 resin glaze at your local Kragen, i swear by the ****! it even makes old effed up engine bays sparkle.. steam clean the interior and replace the broken pieces. resolder the old electronics and clean it up, really it isn't as much work as most here put it out to be, i completely refurbished a n/a S4 with a stripped down motor to the short block in 30 hours, steam cleaned the interior, adjusted the clutch, fixed the clock, etc, etc, etc and it is a great car now but most people around here make it seem like it is some great feat to make 'em run right.

maintenance is the most important thing to keep on top of and the car will treat you well.

You can get some series 4 tail lights for pretty cheap. Or you can find S5 tails for around $200 shipped. Depends on what you want.

I need S5 taillights as I got them already right? I was looking at some used on ebay but is there any Rx-7 site with alot of cheap S5 parts listed such as e-break replacement leather, etc?

Also my paint is faded like mad, will that stuff from kragen's make it look more newish? Even on the plastic bumpers?
