That seems quite nice to be parting out.

Yes it is a very nice all original 93....no engine.
Parts from this FD will help 50 or more FD's get back on the road.....an organ donor effort.

You know you can buy engines. Chevy makes a good engine that will fit as well as a 13B if you can't figure the rotary out.

Are you telling me you're having trouble selling the car as a whole?

His whole business is making money from selling parts. Like it or hate it, some of these cars are better destined to support those that are in far better condition to be saved.

Now we're disrailing OP's build, but I do find it funny that some cars as clean as that black one get torn down, while others as beat as OPs are getting built back up.

Nothing but respect for OP here, loving the updates! Gives me inspiration for my car, which isn't perfect (or nearly as nice as that black car) but is getting saved!

I know, but there is a point where we end up doing the same thing we did to the RX3. I get the business model, but at a certain point you're doing the community harm (like parting out an easily savable black FD). Move on to another chassis type. Like start buying and parting out FRS's or RX8s if you can't find a totaled RX7 to part out.

But yeah back to the OP and on topic.

OP have you ever lined up fenders? I know you wrote that you have a fab shop, but as I just experienced... lining up fenders is a BEAR. If you have done it or something similar care to share some insight?

BTW.....This Black car is my 23ird part-out FD since 2015.
Almost all my customers THANK me for serving the RX7 community with hard-to-find or NLA parts... and the list of NLA parts continues to grow.
