Hey!My name is Garrett!
I Just picked up an 88 RX7 GXL. Its got quite a few dings and flaws but for 900 it ain't bad. It is gonna take a lot of cleaning and fixing but I'm excited. All advice is welcomed.

 

2nd pic should have an "ahh-ahhh" (music interlude) sound...lol!..looks angelic!
Welcome to the forum Garrett!

 

welcome!

 

LoL it totally covers up all the quarter panel damage. Its not severe but not perfection either. Thank You!

 

A few weekends and it'll be good as new - maybe. Welcome.

 

More than a few, I only have half of saturday and all of sunday to work on it since i work 6 days a week. Definitely something to keep me busy. This weekend is to tear apart the interior and clean / fix whatever I find wrong.

 

Looks clean man should be a good project

 

Thanks. Unfortunately in my 2nd pic I couldn't get a good angle of the damage. Quarter panel has a few eye sores. Imma be more thorough with pics when I have more time to take them and clean the car up

 

Eh don't feel bad my car has way more than a few eye sores

 

Yea it adds character to the car!

 

welcome!

 

Looks like it has a lot of potential, Welcome!

 

Welcome to rx7club Garrett. I'm Ron.

 

Hell ya it does. My cars got a ton of character then

 

Yea I feel the same way, Thank You

Nice to meet u ron.

Haha, Once this car is track ready I have a feeling it will gain a lot of "character"

 

Good luck with the project!

 

Best of luck to your FC project Garrett. I can totally see the light at the end of the tunnel with this one. That halo does help a lot......for a lot of us that have similar projects.

 

wow, cant wait to see

 

Its gonna be a very long road. I only can work on it on sat afternoon and sunday and I already have plans this weekend... im a terrible car guy lol

 

Pace yourself Garrett. This forum is a wealth of information. Best to do it right once than take time to do it twice. The FC is a great foundation.

 

welcome! my names Mark...

 

Yea I hear ya on that. I've learned my lesson in the past about rushing an installation only to have to do it again. Being this is my 2nd car and a project I have more time to work on it and pace myself.

 

So I took the seats out and vacuumed the car and used some cheap carpet cleaner on it. Got the carpet ok cleaned but in my defense the carpet is done for and there was like oil or something in the passenger side.

With the seats removed I sat in the car and had a momentary freak out. I realized with the seats out and sitting up I have about 2-3 inches b4 I hit the roof. First question I had is when I get a bucket seat in there will I be sitting with my head in the top? Then I wondered how it will be when I have a helmet on... so im hoping you guys here (and you taller ones who are 6'1 like me) can chime in and offer advice.

 

Also can anyone identify this piece? Doesn't look oem to me.

 

any help on this ^ part would be appreciated.
