FB Gone! Sold to a new Rotorhead!!!

Yes feallas I'm out of the FB game for now. I bought a 90' FC w/ no motor so I got a new project to play with. Not sure what motor to drop in just yet but the choices are many! Maybe carbed 6 port bridgie. Thanks guys for all the help w/ my FB along the way as it was fun and she turned out beautiful , Jeff20b and Wacky you guys rock! Thanks again. I'll still pop in from time to time but the 2nd gen forum is where I'll spend more of my time now. So for now heres a few pics of my next project.

Ps:Kept the Panasports and theyre still for sale.

I also bought a clean 87 FC (4lug) from the original owner a few months ago. I still dont know why I bought it but my son is happy now that he has 2 RX-7's (FB for school and FC for dates so long that there is no stain on the seat ).

1st gens are the best, I sold an 85 and was looking for another within a few months. They are so damn reliable and cheap to own if you dont change too much. To me a good running 12A is just a blast

I got my first 1st gen back in April and I already have a second one. The first one is going back to its previous owner. Wanna know why? Because he's coming back. You just can't stay away from the 1st gen. You'll always come back.

Fortunately I can let the first one go now without fears of coming back-itis (withdrawl) thanks to the second one. It's like a methadone clinic.

lol...you guys are crazy! One of the main reasons I got rid of the FB is I wanted something a bit more roomy and practical. DOnt get me wrong FB's will forever be number one for me but for now I'm just testing the FC waters.
