NC Picked up my 1985 GSL-SE today!

hey all.

i am richard originally from Puerto Rico. Love working on cars (well everything with an engine).
I am in the army and stationed at Ft. Bragg NC, i have been here for a while and looking for a clean rotary for a little bit and finally just picked up a 1985 GSL-SE today: the previous owner was a really cool guy, i think he is a member here , his name is kevin and he was very honest and easy to deal with (i wish all car buying transactions were the same). anyways here are a couple of detail of the car
1985 GSL-SE 106,940 miles. and just completed a 2 1/2 hour drive with no problems, drives and handles like a dream.

here is the original add http://www.blueridgeroad.com/MazdaRx-7/rx7a.htm

a couple of pics ( i will start working on it to make it look like new again soon)


also here are a couple of pics of my other rides.

2004 dodge neon srt-4

1995 nissan 240sx

Hey man, really nice '85. I've got a '84 GSL-SE, and I love mine too. I always liked that color too. You'll find lots of good advice and resources here. Welcome to the club. Hey, since you are in NC, are you going to Deals Gap Rotary Rally? You might really get a kick out of it. Anyway, welcome to the club.

Really clean '85, just sold one a couple weeks ago but it was still a project. They're fun cars, you'll definitely enjoy it!

this is also another project i did, i no longer have it, (too many cars) but i loved it!
I really don't wanna go too crazy with the rx-7 since it looks so sexy on stock form.

I love working on cars, i think i will get a 2nd gn rx-7 and go crazy on it.
