Hello RX7Club .

Greetings from Croatia , just wanted to say hi , and show my currently in sad state 1983 FB . Contrary to the picture , its actually in decent shape (ish) . Plan is to make it a 4-5 year project , and unless something drastic changes , id like to keep the 12A engine in it .


Iv recently sent inquiries to a few rotary shops in the EU , since sadly both rotor housings have the plating cracked near the bottom , and the e-shaft seems to have some light scratches on rotor #2 .

Anyways , let the wrenching begin

 

welcome. looks like a nice project. if u want, u can post a build thread here:

Welcome to the forum!! What color was the car originally? It can be restored and enjoyed once again. It appears to be straight and I don't see a ton of rust in the pictures. Do you know any of the car's history? Would love to see more pictures of the car!

 

Welcome to forum

 

In the cars paperwork it states "black" . History as far as im told is that it has 211k km on the clock , and it was driven till 2008 according to some stickers on the interior ( local club meet dated 2008) . It is indeed straight and there is actually no rust on it , maybe in a few spots , nothing dramatic . More pictures soon , as i have to give it a thorough check over and possibly a clean ( start a build thread ) . Tho im more worried about the engine , since i opened it up about 2 days ago , and it seems both rotor housings are chipped near the bottom , and have pitting near the exhaust port .

 

there's a metal plate under the hood on the firewall that has the paint code.

a google search found rotorywiki:

Paint Color Codes - Rotary Engine Wiki

 

Paint and all that isnt really an issue for me at the moment , maybe at a later date . Now so i dont clutter the thread much , where would be the best place to ask for rotary rebuild shops in EU ? I did a bit of searching and didnt really end up with anything concrete ...
