Cool Why did I buy an RX-7? This is awful!



This is what $1000 gets you from a friend.











It's been street ported and I assume are TurboII brakes because of the 5 lug. I am piecing together A/C for it this weekend. Next up is a new interior.

I also have a '91 Miata with this-and-that done to it.

And a 2007 Mazdaspeed3 GT which I am selling when the RX-7 gets working A/C.

Mazdas I've owned up to this point:

1979 RX-7
1987 RX-7
1991 Miata
1996 Miata
2002 Protege5
2003 Mazdaspeed Protege
2007 Mazdaspeed3 GT

Looks like you got a "used to be red but now is white FC". Also looks like the interior is in relatively decent shape.

Yeah, the paint is pretty bad. It seriously looks like someone just sprayed over the stock red paint with no primer. Ugh. The first thing I am doing (after fixing the A/C) is definitely getting the interior sorted out. The seats have more metal than fabric exposed.
