Couple more pics

Couple more pics.. the scrapes on the lip were beginning to bug me so I sprayed some flat black to cover it up. the paint is still wet in the pic but as of now its dry and matches the rest of the lip perfectly.

94, the motor was rebuilt by KDR (around 70k) and now has over 30k miles on it. I'd like to thank KDR for doing a great job on the motor. 30k and going strong, idles great, no problems starting cold or warm, no leaks or smoke. Turbos are also in great shape and boosting strong, although I haven't installed a boost gauge so I'm not sure. The only issues would be the exterior paint and the suspenion bushings.

Thx limitz, I've been waiting a long time for the right car to come along, and I couldn't wait any longer. I was about to PM you but it seems you found the thread, so it should go without saying you no longer need to take more pics and film on your rx-7. Ofcourse you could still take pics and share with us, it's always nice to see a clean rx-7.

Actually I was thinking the same thing. I didn't take pictures yet because I am planning to stick with this car. I was also going to pm you and then I saw your thread haha. I will share pictures in your thread! Yay for BB FDs!

No... the mounting holes for the license plate bracket are located on the upper side of the main bumper opening. If the plate is removed, you shouldn't see anything. Sounds like the previous owner either bolted it on wrong or hit something...

Either way, it would be a minor fix. Nice car and welcome to the club.

As promised Rx7newb, here is my RX-7

It is in excellent condition, inside and out. One owner vehicle, who is a old retired man, who took religious care of the vehicle. 35,000 miles

Wow, very nice. Without a doubt muuuuch cleaner then mine. I like the rims a lot too, looks verrry good on a brilliant black with its paint as glossy as yours. Almost regretting not holding out a lil longer, but you decided not to sell anyways which is exactly what I would've done in your position. Enjoy your car
