Right Headlight want Go Down

I just got my Second Gen delivered today!! Yeah!!! 1987 SE

I have had a 1st Gen since Febuary, and I am loving it. I accidently bid on a second Gen and won it on Ebay.

Got it for $700.00 Check it out below
http://www.playerschoicegames.com/ebaysecondgen.html

It needs new brakes. Everything. Is there a website out there that sells a complete brake package. Cheap!!


Also, the right front headlight want go down. Can this easily be fixed? I guess it is a motor. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Visit my site
http://www.playerschoicegames.com/rx7.html

I will post some pics later of the car. Here is what needs to be done to the car to make it mint again!!

1. Brakes
2. Front Bumper
3. Front Left Fender
4. Both doors need to be replaced
5. 4 new wheels
6. Antenna
7. Console Replaced
8. Fix horn, windshield wipers settings, and clock
9. Right Headlight Mechanism
10. Steering Wheel
11. Sunroof Leak
12. Rust around right back wheel well and gas cap
13. 4 new tires
14. New Exhaust System
15. New Radio
16. New Driver Seat

Any suggestions or if you can refer any websites for any of the parts or upgrades.

Thanks
David

I know on my dsm, if you take off the rear headlight cover there is a screw type thing that you turn to put them up and down manually, not too sure how to do it on the rx7.

It sounds like the motor is blown, look for a junked 7 to buy one off of.

The motor is grounded to itself. Pull the motor, unscrew the ground wire and clean it up. Chances are its corroded and that's why the motor won't work. The driver's-side light on my current 7 (used to be my parts car) didn't work when I first put her on the road. I cleaned up the ground wire and it's been fine ever since.
