I figured I would show you folks my horrable FB in kirkland.

I donno, needs alot of work... Major issues atm?

Heator core leaks
Rear wiper dont work
cracked right rear lens
ghettorigged FPD fix
door seals need replaced
drivers side door is prolly easer to replace then to fix previous owners botched bodywork
radio and dome lights dont work

Its a slow process, the next thing I am going to do, is get the heatercore working again, so its not a feted swamp inside when the engine warms up. Luckly the engine was recently rebuilt and runs nice.

 

welcome to the forum!, doenst look to bad to me! nice GSL-SE!!! good luck fixing the problems, hopefully we might see you at some of the rx-7 club meets in the future!

 

I will very likely be about, I plan on a total restoration, and while I am not going to rice it, it will look nice.

This is my first project car newer than '69, and my first non-industral rotary

 

Welcome to the Forum...
Your car sorta brings me back to memory lane when I first got my car....everything thats on your list was messed up on my car also + more. Good luck with your adventure... We might even have some of the parts needed if you cant find any...

Heres my memory lane.....again good luck

Blue in the beginning





Gotta love the fuzzy seats covers



Blue Now

 

IF you wanted one that needs less work you could by mine? Good luck on the project. If you ever need a hand post up.

 

i swear that car just keeps getting shinyer and shinyer every time i see it.

 

Blue IS quite a beauty! One of these days I may even actually get to take a ride in her? Sorry last time I was in Spokane didn't work out as planned Deena. When I come with kettle things will be different. Until then... Sorry for thread crapping.

 

Hey, I have the same car...well sort of!


Good luck on the resto...by the way...BROWN rocks!

 

haha Z thats an awsome FB lol

 

It will be better with the FD engine and 400rwhp

 

soon enough... Soon enough.

 

welcome fellow GSLSE owner! I have lots of mods on mine and almost have everything replaced or upgraded.
first thing first....rear wiper
check to see if the electrical contacts are actually touching each other when the hatch is closed (wiper will not work when up). commonly these contacts which are adjustable just get pushed up and no longer touch

radio: check the fuse
dome light:check for a power connection with a little test light for all the positions...possible water soaked wires, dome light assembly, door switch, or just a fuse
door seals: ebay
heater core: 9 times out of 10 its not actually the heater core that's leaking. its the heater control valve on the driver's side. if you have a right angle screwdriver you do NOT have to remove the whole dash to replace this, it just takes a long time.
FPR..........well you could just use an aftermarket FPR and hook up a vacuum line to it or just replace it :S
lens: you can get one of those at any junkyard

good luck and feel free to ask any questions
