1979 IMSA GTU Group C Restore :)

Well I have been trying to obtain this car for 12 years!!!!!! Just the other
day one of my good friends, call's me to tell me that there was a wild body rx7
for sale in my town. I was like What! LOL who had this? I thought I know of
all the rx7's in my town. I got the # and called and BOOOOM It was my Unicorn!!
So I had to have it. I got it home today, had to buy two tires for the rear. Man tires
for a 10.5 low pro 15 is out of site. The wheels on it is SSR FM's :)
Front is 15x8.5 and the Rear is 15x10.5. The car has the Trans Atlantic Porsche Kit
on it. Well here's some pics, and more to come. Thanks

Subscribed, let's see some good progress!

Looks great!!

Whats under the hood??

Keep us updated! This gives me motivation to finish mine

Damn that's gonna be nice!

WOW lucky you. Would love to see what you have planned for it!

The potential there is off the charts! Congrats! How much was she?

(THANKS Man) Well I got it for $700 !!!!!! LOL There's no Engine in it, It has a nice Bolt in cage in it.
Umm well I'm going to be putting my 13b Bridgeport in it, Holset HX55, My Haltech and
maybe a 9'' ford or just a 8.8. Will see :)

In the Door It's a 5-78 and is # SA22C507436 So 7436 I think that it's an Early Build.

Awesome find, will be watching.

my ex-SA is a 5-78 and its got the right hand hood prop, and no mirror, so i agree... mine is actually the same red/blk GS with sunroof, although mine is 100% stock...

Sweet ride, are you gutting the interior and making it a full race wide body or are you restoring it as it sits?

Never mind the picture I was looking at was an Fc..... Ignore me. :dunce:

Dude. That SA is going to be the end all of turbo first gens. I know you were proud of your turbo FB when you climbed over 500 rwhp, but I think we can do better than that for this special girl :D

Total score. Congrats!

Well it Rained all weekend So I hope this coming week I can get some
work Done :) And here's one more pic. And I'm now Looking For a good SA
Front bumper So I can fix the Nose Gap.
