NC 1979 IMSA Build.

Hi all,
I have owned many rx-7s and currently own three, along with other cool imports.
I don't ussually make build threads and I am only doing this to document progress of my car, and because my friends like the way cars turn out after I am done with them so here it is.

I bought this car from Josh (LongsTurboFB) here in the forums about two years ago.
here is the there from when he bought it :
https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...estore-991476/

long story short, the wide body needed attention, lots of it. Most of the time the car has been in the body shop getting the widebody remolded to the chassis/body.

The plan for now is to bring her back to life, how she would look if she was in her prime in the early 80s.

enjoy.

It will be carbed, either a dellorto sidedraft that i have sitting in the shed, or a Holley carb, I like the way the dellorto looks better but it might be too small for the bridge..

That car looks awesome, are you planning on changing the gear ratio, to get to the power band faster of the bridge 6 port?
