Junked 87 fc3s being repurposed...kinda
 
Hello everyone,
recently purchased my fc3s for $500 from a friend. And let's just say this thing is toast! Basically everything is removed and what was left is junk. So it seems, was told car only needs coil packs to run which is an easy kill. But it also needs the brakes redone, power steering redone, seats, dash, seat belts, steering wheel, fluids drained and filled, fuel system redone, and a **** ton of cleaning. Here's when I bought her a week ago. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...c170f29bee.jpg

Since then I've been doing minor work and cleaning. Trust me, minor work for now. I've managed to locate a new power steering pump, alt with dual pulley, master cylinder, brake booster, dash, seatbelts, mirrors, coil packs, wires, wheels, coil overs, that missing intake elbow, remove cruise control and all ac lines + compressor. I've also managed to kinda clean the engine bay, fix the hatch latch, gas door, vacuum the interior and engine bay. And attempt to see if the paint can be brought back and it seems it may. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...4c22711a9a.jpg

There's still a mile of work too be done but this gives me hope and its only been a week. I plan to be drifting it in 6 months and get it in a condition where it can drift for under $1k aside from purchase price. And as of now I'm well under my goal. Thanks for the read guys and stay tuned. You can also find me on IG under squeak1788. Thank you again!!!
