NY 1st Rx7 - 1982 widebody(ish)

Picked this thing up locally for a good price. Interior is shot but already got ahold of a Rx7 collector not far from me to see if we can get this thing to shine again. Haven't owned an Rx7 before, so I'm here to mainly browse through the tech area.

No big plans for it just yet untill I go through every bolt on the car, then will have to decide if I want to keep it and sell the porsche, or just polish it up and flip it. The other cars include the before mentioned Porsche 944, and a Mazda miata that I'm leisurely shoving an old 'vette in to. I go though **** tons of cars, mainly out of ADD; If I haven't driven it before, I want it.

On to the pixors




Dat ***!

Well, you don't see too many of those in one piece and one color. nice score!

Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

Its a pretty neat car, the back wheels are full of lolz, I havent measured them yet but it looks like a 5 inch lip on a 6inch wide wheel. I think they're pretty old Americain Racing rims (Says ARE on them?). Got a buddy stopping by this week to give the motor a once over, im sure the apex seals are worn but that was expected. I'd hate to say it but I can't even find the latch to open the damn hood after its popped

Nice widebody. you are in for a treat because our hoods open backwards...no release latch. Good luck with the build!

Thanks guys! Started picking up some misc interior parts. I have a few extra parts miatas that I'll be swapping seats in to, but having the hardest time finding door panels, which really sets off the interior as being incomplete
