Sad Day for my 7

Tonight was the last HoooRah for my 7, The rear end blew out tonight, it has been along time coming, but tonight it went down for the last time. There are so many other things that are wrong with the car, that its just not worth the hassle anymore. It made it 177,xxx miles and im proud of that.

Im not out of the 7 game by any means, still got my turbo 7 project, and in the process of looking for a white FB to transplant my current set up into.

I will miss my Limited Edition, it was my fathers and he passed it on to me, but its costing me so much to keep running, and the body is litterly falling apart around the motor.

I havent totally decided what im going to do, but if I can find a clean transplant car its a done deal for the LE.

Bummer, man. It's a nice looking LE. It'd be nice if you could it going. Maybe you could find a way to store it until you can fix it? If the body isn't in too bad of shape, that is.

Good luck.

Keep the roller until you can patch her up, or sell it to a fellow rotorhead to get her back to life!

Sorry to hear about it man...

Thanks, but I need a new roller.

I got a brand new streetported motor with a Sterling sitting on top with only 14K miles on it, I just need a new car to start fresh again. Like I said the car is litterly falling apart around the motor

Yeah I saw that one, but it has 200K on that thing, if mines falling apart at 177 and I took care of it, that thing is due to break.
