AZ rx7 resurrection

hello
just got myself a $600 86 rx7 gxl
3 weeks ago it was bottomed out pile of meatal in a dirt field. covered in 100 pounds of dirt and cobbwebs
now it is a road worthy, badass rx7 again
1200 bucks and a whole lot of elbow grease and patience
I love rx7s. my first was a 90 gtu. got ran over by a f250 with a 10" lift. second was an 89 gtu that I sold to a good friend who's still got it

that's my story. I give a lot of thanks to rx7club members for a lot of.information and ideas

thanks guys, Steve

Hey Steve welcome to the forum! Cool pictures. What's with being run over some lifted F-series Ford truck...lol...Did that driver just leave a monster truck event that showcased BigFoot?

An actual face I can connect to a member name in an introduction. I think that's a first for me.
