All I can say is holy SXXX! You either have a lot more dedication or love for the FD than most. I couldn't imagine trying to salvage one that far gone.
With that said, it looks like it is in the right hands and is quickly going in the right direction. What is your end-goal? Track car or street? Drift machine? GOOD LUCK! Vince |
WTF!?!?!? Just making a car reliable with mods is enough of a headache, can't imagine what this ball of burnt metal will be. Hope you have lots of funds and patience to sort out parts. You already have skills and tools, maybe not too much common sense, but neither do I owning an RX7. LOL Good luck, you will need it. :icon_tup:
|
WOW JUST WOW , MAN PROPS TO YOU AND ALLSORTS OF WELL WISHES , I went trough a similar issue BUT WAY WAY WAY better condition shell... Good luck ! and WIRING may be a pain in the ass so I would look into that as well .. My car was a burnt shell and I had and HAVE still alot of wiring issues I've had to replace repair and remake alot of the cars wiring .
|
I'd be pretty wary of the glue lines that hold the chassis together... they don't do great once you expose them to fire, even if they look ok. Have you tried putting some warp load into it to see if it can handle driving at 1-2g loads?
|
Cant believe youre even taking a shot at this. Best of luck, I hope you can bring it back from the dead :icon_tup:
|
Piggy back of what others have said.
You sir is insnae |
i dont even know how to respond through all of your comments
the biggest problem in putting this back together are parts a local junkyard has all the parts but you know they want more money so i will just be patient in building this trying to get lucky on craigslist i have time to work on this at least 2 to 3 hrs a day so its good its not a priority i will eventually sandblast this but not now money is tight i just need to gather all the major parts first right now i havent decided yet if its gonna be a track car im leaning towards that cause its gonna take forever putting everything back so tonight i worked a little bit removing the sound deadning on the transmission tunnel too late for some noises like power tools or hammering https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5719/...7af3e3b691.jpgrx7 tonight by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/767/2...af4030de24.jpgrx7 tonight1 by nakahachi, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/594/2...cf2633d864.jpgrx7 tonight2 by nakahachi, on Flickr another job done cool https://farm1.staticflickr.com/628/2...eb29f96ed4.jpgrx7 tonight3 by nakahachi, on Flickr |
Did you get it for free? That is a lot of work, are you looking to restore it of sorts or just a modified machine?
|

I couldn't get over the crazy attempt to even try fix this into a track car.
Even at free, I would have pass on it. You my man, are INSANE, :nod: but I like your determination into making it work. Keep posting your progress. You are an inspiration and I will think of you, when I have simple issues, by comparison, with my car. LOLOLOL |

Duuuuuude, Much like everyone here my jaw has dropped and mind is officially blown.
I hope to see your finished product in person one day! I've got a set of stock wheels laying around that I never ever plan to use Im not sure what condition yours are in. I'm selling on the forum, but I like your determination and want you to succeed. So if you want them they are yours....free. I'm in So Cal so you can come pick them up if you want them. I may also have a couple of random things you many be able to use, I'll have to dig. |
Found your thread!! Great meeting you by the way. but just wow....when you said your car burned this is not what I imagined!
Good luck man! hopefully we cross paths again once this beast has been resurrected!! |
