1985 rx 7gsl se





Bought from someone who went through it from top to bottom and restored one with a lot of miles to like new condition with crazy magic mazda pearlescent paint and iridescent smoke ghost flames. I've cleaned up the interior and installed new Takata seats and new OEM padded carpet, new mats and dash repaint, shifter boot. The 13B has been rebuilt and I have what came out which is in OK shape, meaning the engine is strong and healthy and though rebuilt to stock non ported, was in OK shape at RB. Everything works, even the AC now working.

The car has a very clean look to it. What color was the car originally?

I think it was White, then possibly tan after about 90K, Mike in Az. had this painted, I have the recipe mix btw, at 200K. It was restored there and underneath it looks like it rolled off the lot, new bumpers and B shock assys, Looks like everything was gone over and is new or low mile. The deletion of the trim strip shows the styling much better though i'd prefer a thin trim strip, not as thick as the OEM. The color is Magic mazda pearlescent purple and is loaded with iridescent metal/pearl additives.

The goal is to get this car into just off the lot condition.
