I love working on the rx7 too. I thought thesame thing u thought Jamie...for about 30secs. Rx7 are much easier to work on than most other cars, + hobbies ate never as fun when it's ur job. Not hatin just think it thru. Good luck. Ps. I'm sending my **** in to ben for a streetport and rbuild, +some other goodies next wk!. Damn sensitive rotaries...they blow so easy

Yeah thats something you really look for in a girl and not a car XD



But yeah as for thinking it through, I've been deciding for about 2 years and now I figure if anything I should I least pursue it now. I think as long as I am fixing something I'll be happy XD

I agree with that one....Once you take your hobby and make it into a job/career....you NEVER want to work on your own car at home or on your free time...

Ive worked for shops for 2years now, my rx7 is still taking for ever to get done even tho its not much left...lol If i didnt have a mechanic job, it woulda been finished with body work and all...lol

My website should be up for selling some nutrilife products and some different house stuff...Everyone should take a look at it and support me

J7Enterprises.mychoices.biz


should be up on monday tho.
