Nice !! Pretty sure it's been been painted though since the rubber side moldings are missing and the pinstriping isn't stock. Also those side mirrors are not from an RX-7. How does it run ?

2 of the moldings were missing and some falling off so I removed them. Looks good naked

pinstriping is very dated on it

definitely original paint

one mirror was broken, and could not find a match. Replacement are aftermarket but they suit the car

next is wheel restoration and raised white letter t/a’s for a period correct look

OK , nice . I also prefer the car without the side rubber . I have 3 or 4 SA mirrors in pretty good shape if you're interested .
