Howdy folks, I bought Fred's burned FB. I am in the process of stripping it down and thought I'd see if anyone needed any parts before I scrap the shell. I am keeping the engine/drivetrain, suspension, fuel system, rear fenders and tail lights. If anyone could use the doors, rear glass pieces, sheet metal bits, or anything random that might be left, give me a buzz.
Yes, sadly the dash is toast. I think the doors and rear glass pieces are spoken for, but once I get a little more progress pulling parts, I'll post up new pics of the car to show what's left.
Glad it all worked out Fred, I can't tell you how many 'oh wait we can reuse that part on X car' moments my friends and I have had! It will help keep multiple other rotaries on the road.
I'm sure the hood is pretty crispy but does it still have integrity?
If so and no one else wants it I can give it a good home.
You need a hood? I've acquired three somehow. Transporting it is a bear though. SOMEHOW you can fit a first gen hood into the trunk of a first gen. I did it once but for the life of me I can't replicate that process.
I saw that 15 year badge Ray, not sure how I got it early but I'll take it!
The hood is mangled up pretty good, both the latch area and the edge where it touches the header piece between the headlights.
I know how you'd transport a first gen hood- you drive your first gen hood-less and go pick it up :-) I did that more than once with FC's!
Do any of you guys know of any cheap first gens sitting around anywhere local? No engine or drivetrain needed, just a decent, mostly complete body with a dash. I want to build a Frankenstein car with my hoard of FB/FC parts.

Hey guys long time no read. The company I have worked for here for 5 years just suddenly let me go. So the Mrs and me are going to have to vacate the premises and possibly go back to Ohio. Nothin is certain since this just happened Thursday night. I’m cleaning out the garage and there are some FB items I’d like to sell from my Rx7. Now before somebody tells me put it in the sales portion of the club I’m willing to allow you guys first dibs. I have brand new OEM still in the bag door rubber surrounds and other door seal parts. All in brand new condition. All Mazda. There’s also an official Shop Manual for 1984 in very good condition. I have one used of one of those igniters on the distributor. There’s a used fully intact heater core unit for 84-85 SE. very good condition. Any fair offer will do. PM me .. thanks

So sorry to hear man.... Im in the same boat, except I was at my job for 20 years.... This covid crap sucks! stay strong brotha.... we will get thru this mess.
Sorry to hear that, Paul. Is there anything we can do?
You need to look around Atlanta so you can be in the OGTA capital of the world!
I have a meeting with an old customer of mine back home in Akron Ohio. Thank you gents for the good words. I looked at this door rubbers. I think ther is glass runners and glass seals too. Again Mazda OEM. Mazda tags are still on the bags so I could probably read serial numbers if one likes.
