I am sure most of you heard of my accident about 4-5 weeks ago... I lost my very close love to me which was my 94 Mazda Rx-7 Single T....Very Beautiful car. And I cant get anyone to pick it up for 7500 so I was thinking of doing a restoration project and take it to a shop and maybe get someone to put it back together here are the pics from the accident
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...light=lost+eye
Anways I have come up with a list of things to go along but with no prices its hard to make my idea move forward.
1) I need a new core support it was bent back during the accident and its just toast to my knowledge. I believe in previous threads this new core support is new from mazda 150 dollars I just would like to confirm this if anyone else has any idea that would be great to. I do know this needs to be welded on so I will get a shop to do it. I am currently looking at all the shops I can who can restore 7's or have good exp with them but no luck yet so I can just sit and wait.
2) I realized that my passenger tie rod is gone... I am guessing I probably need a new tie rod assembly to make sure nothing gets missed. I looked through the forum with no luck on what these costs and how much they are from mazda new and I am not just talking about ends I thought about just replacing it all.
3) I do know my fenders are gone and thats the end of the fenders so those I heard were also new from mazda 200 but definitly on the forum probably cheaper if I looked hard or just get CF ones.
4) I already have a KS hood so I would just need some new hood brackets cuz mine are bent... Not sure how much these are from mazda will try to find on forum.
5) Ummm my rear quater panel caught side of a wall so I am not sure if it got to the frame and wouldnt know how to fix this b/c of the unibody contrustion anyone got any ideas ? I heard these can either be cut out and weld in a new piece or they can "spoon " it out. So umm ya how do you fix this for frame dmg ?
6) New wheel costs like 250 new and 140 for tire not bad thats ez.
7) The biggy is to get her to a frame shop and make sure her frame is put back in good position and get them to put her back together and repaint all the new parts. Now I heard many quotes on this but I am sure someone has to have past exp with this so I am wondering how much it costs to repair a frame and bend it back into place and put it back together.
8) Winshield I have no clue what this would cost for the world of me. Ideas of price would help alot .
9)Aftermarket steering wheel and harness (I will never get in a car with a air bag again turned on... I am scared of air bags now.)
10) I am just going to ignore that passenger side air bag and mold in something there since its already toast I might mold a boost controller or something of that nature in there.

And this actually finishes my project putting my fd back together unless there is something that I should know about in the back that might cause the suspension to suck or wabble wheels or something. I definitly know its going to need a realignment to get her back straight also. Any feedback and ideas would surely help guyz I think I covered all of it except maybe sleeks but thats last the first things first is to get her on the road and make her driveable I did start her up 2 weeks ago and she purred I will start her this weekend and let her idle n rev it up a lil. Yall have been great for reading all of this and I hope to bring back a FD "from the dust" and hopefully be driving her again soon thanks guyz and galz.

 

Also I know some people on here do restorations(turbojeff =) ). I am willing to pay to get it shipped to you and if you can restore it I can pay you. Or anyone who owns a shop that has done rotary work I can ship this to you and pay what you want. I want my car back guyz =(

 

Edit, sorry wrong wreck...

New post.

Your car is relatively easy to fix.

 

easy to fix but hard to sell. single turbo fd's w/ no accidents are having trouble selling for $15k. imo, you'd be lucky to get $12k once you fix this. you should consider if you want to continue to spend money on something that really has no future value.

 

single turbo fds having trouble selling for 15? where is this? ill take one :-d

 

Thats very true but I love my car more then I do most things in my life... And getting it restored would be what I want.... Its not the value of the car that affects me so much but as the amount of time I spent driving it and how I felt driving it and all the pride and confidence the car gave me made me fall in love with it..... I cry everytime I have to walk into the garage and see her so cripled and me helpless and wanting to sell her... Its just not moraly right for me to let her live like that ... If I would have never got it this would have never happened.... <sniff>... Which would have been the best thing for her =( . But I have to finsih what was started and hopefully I will.

 

Exactly.

 

If you want the car you have been talking about, stop immediatly from putting money into the FD, just stop. Try harder selling it as is or MAKE some time and part it out.

 

DO IT
