PA My build/ cleanup

Hello, My name is Doug and I just started to work on getting things straight with my fd. I got this 93 RX7 Twin Turbo in a trade for my 98 Acura Integra GSR, big win for me. The diff was shot when I got the car along with some other issues. After looking at a lot of other engine bays here in the forum I realized that mine is far from legit. Plans include trying to sell the Veilside kit, headlights, and anything else I dont need that I got with the car. I know I have my work cut out for me as I dont know who did what to this car. Sucks to get it right before spring and summer but I would rather wait than have any of the major problems that can come from poor work. Thanks for looking and I would appreciate any input that you may have good or bad.

Take your time but also treat it good . Its still a rare car . Its definitely worth the time and money . Good luck with it i just finished mines . I wish i can post pix

I bought my Integra for 1600 and did nothing but put a stereo in it and drive it.

Lol so you came off with a big steal. Its a beautiful car dont get rid of it . The body looks clean . Just gotta get the stock bumber and get rid of those side skirts . The guy you traded obvisously didnt have any knowledge of cars . You paid 1600 for an integra now you have a $10,000 and up vehicle

He knew what he had, he was in a bad spot and needed a running car for work cause he didnt have the money to fix the 7. The guy has some bad luck, he totaled the integra after having it for 2 weeks.

Lot's of potential there, great steal!
Those headlights and the bodykit look awful, fix those two things and you suddenly have a tasty looking car.

It's a full veilside kit, but unfortunately no one is in the market for kits anymore and without covers the lights would be a hard sell too. looking to go back to stock on both though. First order is getting it running the way it should, got an exhaust leak and a few spots where oil is leaking as well. take care of that and the busted radiator then I will worry about the way it looks.
