I was thinking about parting out my 1993 Mazda RX-7. Anyone that has done this...just curious was it worth it. I havent' driven it in about 3 years. It had a radiator leak...I took off the leaky radiator and ordered a new aftermarket one. I never got around to putting it back on. Good thing I have other daily drivers

This is just a thought, so don't start requesting parts. I just wanted to hear from others that have parted theirs out. As is, I think I would have to spend another $5-6K to have it perfect for me.

I need to have it tuned, I need an AC system put in, I need to get a paint job and straighten up minor dings and dents from being a 15 year old car.

The more I think about it, I think I will just keep it and save some money to complete it. I need to quit buying new cars and motorcycles and start finishing up project RX-7, aka garage queen

So anybody in OKC got the hook ups on a paint job
Think Rotary Performance of Garland, TX will take care of the tuning and AC install, I always use them for the major things...

I have so many new parts waiting for installation too I miss the REX.

But feel free to chime in on your parting out experience if you have any.

I think its just a bad idea to strip a straight car for parts - unless its a real dog.

Part out a wreck, sure... but not a straight car.

Put the radiator back on and sell it for twice as much =)

i wouldnt part it out unless it was crashed, you could get twice as much if u just put it all together.

OK...no more new cars (although I do want an Escalade, but gas prices are making that decision easier to put on hold) or motorcycles....save funds for RX-7

I almost sold it for $12 K to my wifes nephew but couldn't pull the trigger on my baby.
