Firstly thank you all, who maintains this forum and give us the members this virtual space. Let´s start new build thread! Car nickname "ETHEREAL" (in Czech "PŘÍZRAK"). „It’s taken time, and it’s still sinking in, that it’s actually here.“ :)

The story starts here:



Specification:
- Aurora white WN, Interior brown
- European version (lights, mirrors, back seats)
- Front lights Cibié (Valeo) H4
- Fog lights ZKW behind the grill (factory option)
- Sunroof made by dealer before the sale
- only mechanical antenna
- rear window heater, no wiper
- radio Phillips
- leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shift
- without air conditioning
- without sub zero tank
- 4-barrel Nikki (I can´t tell for now specific differencies from "standard" version)
- oil cooler under the water cooler
- 5 speed transmission
- bigger rear drum brakes from Mazda 626 1978. I would be pretty happy to know why. Was it specific to Europe or last owner changed the whole rear because some trouble? Will pictures help to recognize it?

Condition:
- nearly complete stock
- non runner, engine already aparts (current work).
- some rusty places - the most of it repaired, but there are typical places, which needs welding
- Nikky freshly rebuilt
- Changed all bad steering and suspension bushings and seals
- Solved some details as electric hatch release, hatch struts, telescopic antenna, etc.. ]]> Build Threads https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-293/rx-7-sa-1979-european-aurora-white-ethereal-1173310/
