Another Calgary wrecking yard update

Ok, just got back from Pick 'n Pull and noted the following RX7s in their yard:

Both are 1st gens and pretty much complete at the moment. One is a white SA ('79) that still has the engine, drive train (transmission is automatic), rad, oil cooler and stock SA mags that looked to be in decent shape. This car also has extra components inside it, including an extra rad and oil cooler. Interior is tan, but there has been a black dash installed that looks to be from a later model (ie: '81 to '83--- it does not have the speaker grille in it that the '79s and '80s had).

The other car is an '82 GX, ie: the Canadian version of the GSL package, complete with LSD and 4-wheel discs. Rad is gone but oil cooler is still there, as is the engine and std transmission and diff. Uphoulstry is red leather and the seats are so-so with the usual worn drivers' seat back.

Stock rims (usual corrosion), worn tires. How's the SE project coming along?

Wherever that SA came from it has a bunch of extra parts (eg OMP) in it. The speedometer goes up to 80 mph. The SA steering wheel was still on it.

I was there again today on un-RX7-related searches. The SA is still there and mostly complete. The '82 is now gone.
