My 1980 GS Project

Next goal is to fix the little metal pipe that goes to the thermal reactor the flange is all warped. I may remove it and file it flat. I have a nasty exhaust leak at that flange. And I'm not sure the gasket for it is available anymore. I've considered making a block off plate for it but I don't know what effects it will have on the thermal reactor.

That exhaust setup on there was horrendous. It looked like crap, sounded like crap and the install was crap..exhaust hangers and zip ties.. I had a stock SA exhaust in the basement and figured that I'd just use that for awhile. Its quieter by far but there is still a little leakage in that original exhaust.

Installed a new gas cap, OMP gasket, and one OMP line. Would have done both if they were both still available from Mazda. Seems my OMP is still leaking though. I'm going to pull it and see if I can replace the o-ring on the drive. I can't seem to figure out where this sucker is leaking from.

Fun read, I really like the 79/80's mechanical feel. Interior especially with that cool shifter and gauges. Enjoyed the fact you found that article with photos too, so cool. Good luck with the build.

Really looking forward to having the car out and putting some miles on it this spring and summer. Hoping to be able to start the body work on the car as well. Its such a strong running and driving 7. One of my favorites that I've had over the years.

Hey there! I thought you might've sold this with your latest acquisition Toyota. Glad to see you kept this one. Gotta have at least one 7 in the driveway.
