MN Anyone In MN Wanna Help Swap?

Well my hood on my white RX7 Turbo swap flew up when I was going 70mph and messed up my car pretty bad. It happened yesterday. So today I went to go pick up another rx7. Just wondering if anyone is willing to do the swap for me. I will help myself. Its just that right now I dont have a garage to do it in so the person willing to help must have one. For him or her, they can keep my white RX7 (got hit on passenger side and hood came flying up) and the NA Automatic engine and trans from the new RX7 that Ive picked up.

Here are pictures on the white rx7 that you will receive. It has a momo steering wheel and nrg hub but i will be swapping that over to the new one. I will probably be taking the Tii hood if I can bend it back to fit but you will receive the steel red hood.

Basically a NA to Turbo/auto to manual swap (engine, trans, RB Exhaust, Koyo Rad, Gauge Cluster, Custom Drive shaft, Switching the Steering Wheels,etc). I have everything we need so it should swap right over nicely. Main thing I wanted to do was pull all the wiring out with the engine so we dont have to take off the manifolds and unplug everything. I'd think itd be much easier.

Thats pretty easy. If the pedals and slave are all there it will be easy to do. If we are going to pull the engine I would strongly suggest getting a banzi oil pan brace those thing are worth there weight in gold. Maybe a set of there motor mounts as well, but oil pan brace for sure.

Yeah it is easy. I've done it all myself before and would do it again but no garage. The motor mounts are fairly new. Maybe only like 8 months old. As for the brace, I'll look into it.

If no one can come through this week then I will be posting ads for selling it. Until it sells I will still look for someone to swap.

I got a trade offer for it. A 94 black GSR. I would rather have a turbo'd 7 but if no one can come through soon I will be trading.
