But this is still really nice, and the paint isn't too bad. I might Macco it white later for super cheap with a weekend of sanding first. _____________________________ (in reply to SPeeDy3) Post #: 3

RE: New Rx-7 for me - 5/25/2008 2:37:18 PM    virgin1 Posts: 4922 Joined: 3/15/2007 Status: online SPeeDy!!!  It's a project car!!!  He's got work to do on it and I'm sure he knows that. I still like the first gen 7's... and the second gens, and the third gens..... But after shopping hard for one about 11yrs ago, I'm not sure they'd be for me... not as my DD anyway. My A-Hole Bro-in-Law had a first gen when my sister married him.  He traded it in on a Town Car and has driven them ever since.  'Course, in his defense they were living in Boston back then and the car was very rusty when he sold it.  It was a silver 5-sp... '82 I think? _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to SPeeDy3) Post #: 8

Hell, you should've seen it after paint. but it's now been sold, and has had all it's guts swapped into an 88 chassis with 105k miles to match the 105K engine. This new Rx-7 is my replacement. It was only 1000 bucks and pulls just as hard, so I'm happy. _____________________________ (in reply to SPeeDy3) Post #: 10
