Ok guys, my RX-7 is sold :cry: . It will be in the hands of another trusty owner in the next day or two.

Enjoy the pics. There will be no next project, until i have settled down with my priorities in life then I may 'think' about the nexxt .

Chester, it's been a pleasure.

Is the new owner a current forum member?

Is the FD staying in NZ, or is it being shipped far away somewhere?

Very nice looking vehicle.

The only thing I don't like is the stretched out tires. Looks like a trend that was started by someone who couldn't afford of find the right tire for their wheel.

Otherwise, I truly like this FD. Great work! Sad to see you sell her.

You will be back in the hands of the Rotary Succubus soon enough though.

Wow Chester. Can hardly believe it. Definitely one of the best to ever grace the pages of this forum. Hope you got a fair price. Anything less than $30K would have been a steal, and likely half the cost of your build. Hope to see you back again in the near future. In the meantime, best of luck and stay in touch....
