CO 90 GTU Turbo II
After i sold my bridge turbo SA and my GSLSE I got the itch for another RX7 this time i bought a 90 GTU with a T2 engine with a bad paint and massive exhaust leak. 1st thing i did remove engine to fix the broken studs and now the car is at body shop getting surgery.

Mind if I ask how much the respray cost? The paint on my car is awful, but can't really afford a super expensive paint job.

A few miles down the road in Denver, $3500 would be on the low end for a good quality, same color spray job.
My quotes were more in the $5k range.

Looks pretty.

I was bummed that I sold the wheels but I am glad they went to a good home. Once I get back from my trip to Mexico, we Colorado FC owners should have a small meet in the springs.
