Salvaging usable parts from my 1983 RX-7
Hello everyone,
I'm so glad to be part of the forum. I'm not really well-versed in all things RX-7 related. However, I have a 1983 Mazda RX-7 that is in really terrible condition with its exterior and interior, but the under-hood mechanics are all original appear pretty much unscathed. I believe there are salvageable parts that I could sell from the car before it disintegrates. I live in Wilmington, North Carolina and I wanted to know if anyone has knowledge or ideas of how might be able to connect with a 1st generation mechanic who lives in my area, who might be able to extract the usable parts from the car, so I can put them in protective storage until a suitable buyer comes along? I would hate to lose anymore of the car to the elements.
Thanks
Frederick

Welcome to the forum Frederick! You will want to create a thread in the regional section that corresponds with your location. Guys there would be willing to help.
On the flip side, parting out a car yourself will teach you so much abut the car. Knowing how the car comes apart will build confidence in future repairs. Just something to think about.

Do you have the lid and hinge mechanism for the center console compartment?
