nice find!

 

Heres some more pics, hood is popped up like that because it has the wrong battery in it lol

 

rescuing a dream to build a dream....its like a dream coming true inside a dream. you will definitely complete your car as this site is rotary info heaven.

 

$750 for a car that runs and drives is one hell of a deal. Very good find.

 

pass side looks pretty nice, driver's side could use some body work but nothing an old dent puller and some bondo can't fix

 

That is so cheap and a great car to save

 

Wow, thats a steal, especially since the engine works and runs.

Im looking at picking up a FD with a mint body, but no engine/trans or differential for 600$ locally. Im pretty sure its a good deal, but I must admit, with the interior and engine in yours, you put my good deal to shame haha.

All the best with your build !

 

Great deal for a running fd, the body really doesn't look that bad for a wrecker car, glad se another rx7 saved from the crusher, good job.

 

Which junkyard was this at? I haven't seen it at either parts galore.

PS welcome!

That junkyard must be on drugs because the engine alone (given its not smoking or low compression)in that car is worth at least $2000.

You scored big time.

glad you saved it!

 

What the ****! I'm so incredibly jealous right now. I'm going around every local junkyard and hoping to find a nice project car, or at least some Crown Vics.

 

You are going to need a lot of parts, but at least you are way ahead with only paying $750 for a car that is complete enough to start up. People pay a lot more for just a rolling chassis. It is surprising that the yard did not pull the engine, typically that is one of the first things the more organized yards do.

If you like body work this is certainly a car that will keep you busy.

 

Wheels helped a lot! Thats the great thing about the FD, even all fucked up like that its still an awesome looking car!

 

You are lucky i did not walk thrum parts galore, buddy.. But any way.. I don't need any more antique cars..

Thanks guys. I already acquired about 90% of the parts for the car. I need to do a lit of work though, but in the end Iwill have a mint condition and pretty bad *** car for about 3-4k

 

good work

 

Not bad at all for a junk yard find. I've only ever seen two in the scrap yards here and all that was left was the frame.

 

i wish i had time to put into a car. i'd do the same thing.

 

Great job

 

Nice find!

 

Awesome find man, good luck with the restoration.

 

Its Detroit, nothing is well organized here. And generally import cars are great for picking because nobody cares or knows anything about them.

 

Truly awesome, when my FC is done I'm looking for an FD and hope i can get a good deal like that.

 

Nice rescue, looks great, bet it feels good to rescue and ressurect a beautiful thouroghbred like a 3rd gen. Should be a sweet project.
