5 years of waiting

Hello to all,

After 5 years waiting to become owner of RX-7 I finally made it

As I am from Croatia, it was really hard to find a suitable RX-7 for me.

From total of 6-7 2nd gen RX-7 in Croatia, half of them are rusty or crashed, only a couple that worth something.

Firstly, I am fixing body/paint/"basics" condition of FC3S, and after that mods will follow.

Here are the pictures:

I have made significat progress in rebuilding this FC3S, and it took long time and it was a big investment.

Today I managed to start the new rebuided engine, and everything was ok. I need a week to make a car completly drivable, and ready for road insception.

Here are some pictures and videos:

So far so good, what direction are you planning on taking with the 7? She looks pretty clean, just needs a little TLC.
