Hello, my name's Ethan and I recently inherited my first 1981 RX-7 (and car for that matter). It used to be my older brother's, but he unfortunately passed away this month. I believe he was a member of this forum, but I'm not sure what his screen name was or how active he was around here. I'll add a picture of my 7 tomorrow when there's sunlight. It needs some work such as fixing rust, a replacement strut, new tires, etc. but I'm hoping to make this car everything he could've wanted it to be.

I don't know a whole lot about cars yet to be honest, but I plan on changing that.

A little bit about myself: lead guitarist/vocalist in a punk band, competitive slalom kayaker, I mess around in Photoshop a lot making graphics and editing photos, I've studied landscaping/horticulture, I'm a gamer but don't play much anymore, and I love to create all sorts of stuff and fix whatever I can get my hands on.

I'm also no stranger to vBulletin forums as I used to be a staff member on one for a while.

 

Good to know you Ethan. I think it's awesome that you're taking it upon yourself to see through your late brother's project RX-7. I have an older brother, and I would do the same for him. What area of Pennsylvania are you from? I ask because I'm from Bucks County.

 

I live in Centre County, about 10 miles out from State College.


EDIT: Pic of the RX7

 

Nice looking 7, welcome to the forum

 

Welcome to the forum, I'm sorry to hear you lost your brother. It awesome that you are willing to build the car in honor of him. I'm also from pa, bucks county

 

Wait, Erick what town you from in particular? I'm from Southampton - we should meet up sometime!

Also, I have a friend at Penn State main campus so if I'm ever up there visiting I'll try and link up!

 

I'm fairly positive I've seen your car before, probably before you owned it.

 

I live in Bristol
