greetings rotorheads!

I have gotten to a point where I have too many projects and not enough time or any time at all to work on any of them . I picked-up one of the ghosts from Ray collection a few years back and gotten just about everything needed to complete it, but no time to do it and it is taking space in my garage to work on anything else. So with much regret I need to get rid of it. The price is FREE! come and get it and finish it up. The only thing needed outside the motor and tranny is the rear end. If no one picks it up is going to the scrap yard and it is such a clean car , that it will angry the rotor gods if that happen.

hey guys, been awhile since I last posted as I recently bought my first house and had to do a complete remodel myself (learned me some new skills!). but now things are slowly calming down. The gold 200 dollar fc is still hanging around and I think is gonna be my long term track car project as im just now tearing into it but now with the house and all lined up I've been contemplating going for the childhood dream car an FD. I'll most likely to be looking to purchase one come the heavy winter months in hopes prices dip a little as im hoping to find one for as close to 12k as possible.

Im looking for advice on some specific things to look at with these guys and things to be weary of, other than the typical stuff seen on an FC and FB. It wont be used as a daily driver but it will still be driven a good bit so I expect to do some of the reliability mods I've ready about over the years.

heads up

Just to clarify what I am offering before anyone takes a long trip and be surprise. The car is sitting on a homemade working dolly. stripped down to the windshield. All the parts needed put the car back together are available, but not on the car. it does need a rear end, motor and tranny. If interested on pictures I'll have some out to you in the next day or so, just send me a request and your email.

Yes, that was an hour ago. I should have it stripped as clean as the Ghost by the end of the weekend, ready for a trailer.

Why are you getting The White One LV ready for a trailer?

That's the Ghost Tommy, on Carlos' trailer and headed for south Georgia.

Buyer beware, the Ghost is probably haunted, which is why Carlos' needs her gone.

But she's probably good for a Donald Trump Tax Break.

And this one I'm sitting in is the Silver Sliver. Once she's stripped to the bone Martin is going to pick her up:

When you say White One LV, you must be thinking White One III (I know, it's a Trumpism) which is currently undergoing restoration (pic 20 minutes ago):

Anybody making plans for the Gap next year?

I wish that were true about the tax break Paul, but Trump is lying about taxes just like he is lying about everything else (including his own taxes).

Only the filthy rich will see their taxes go down and the rest of us will pay for it.

When he calls his opponents liars he is simply projecting, as tyrants tend to do.

The truth is he is the Greatest Liar of All Time, the only person in recent history who can fit four lies into one sentence.

Take the birther issue for example. Now even he admits he's been lying about that for the last five years.

The amazing thing is that at the same time he's admitting he's been lying about Obama's citizenship he's telling another lie, that Hillary Clinton started it in the first place.

The guy is a sociopath.

I do agree with you however that Carlos looks better in the engine bay, it's hard to compete with those good looks.

Here's the results of a recent national poll conducted by Americans for a Better Way:

Who would make the best President of the United States:

A. Donald Trump (4%)
B. Hillary Clinton (6%)
C. A Hard to Open Pistachio (90%)

So it's not hard to understand why in our country today an extremely intelligent, accomplished and dedicated black man who as President has lifted this country up from its roots in bigotry, set a high standard with his decency and saved us from another Great Depression created by Republicans might be considered a step lower than an empty coke can.

Still, even with all this electoral ignorance, hatefulness and cynicism, Hillary wins since a Hard to Open Pistachio is not a legal citizen of the United States.

On another note.. I did happen to finally land a great job here in NC. I start the 26th as long as I pass my drug test..( I've been driving my five letter so much lately, with all the off time that they'll probably flunk my screening from all the sweet rotary exhaust I've been inhaling (is it just me or do any of you agree that the exhaust of a well tuned rx7 is the sweetest!!??) anyway my new job is in Lillington and I'll be buying my brothers home in Willow Spring for the duration of my career. Nice place for a meet too guys and dolls. Big inground pool, tiki bar the whole shootin match. We'll have to stage an event here next spring or summer. And yes Ray, you can come too.😂!!

I've tried many times over the years Paul but I'm convinced nothing I or anyone else says can shut it down.

It's like a malignancy and as long as there is an RX7club forum we will be here sucking its life blood.

Is that your younger brother in front of Trump 7?
