CT New Member ‘85 GSLSE

Hello, I am Tony. I have acquired a 1985 GSL SE. Red with grey interior. In need of some TLC. I have long admired the NB RX7 and now I hope to learn more and enjoy it.

That's a beautiful SE!! The Sunrise Red paint really shines nicely! Do you know any of the car's history?

In my opinion you start with the "Best Off". Congratulation!

Can you post some detail picture of the moonroof. Never saw the white line round about it.

Previous owner must have installed a rubber seal around the glass moonroof ...Rubber usually turns white when excess car wax gets on it ...but i could be wrong ....

Trim is not white. It is black - just a light reflection in photo.
