1987 Mazda RX-7 $800
This was a project I started that now has me so frustrated. I was slowly working on some of the body work but have lost almost all motivation to want to complete. It was going to be my wacky wednesday car, but it just keeps nickle and diming me. I just got a new 08 R6 and this has to go.
This car has...
Good...
New Inspection
New Windsheild
Newer Tires (80%-90% tread)
New Thermostat
New Electric Fan
New Battery
New Battery Terminals
New Air Control Valve
New Rear Differental (4:10 Gears)
Newer Ebay Twin Loop Muffler, converted from dual to single exhaust the the cat which is also gutted.
Bad...
The car has been gutted for the most part the carpet was completely rotted when I got the car.
Probly needs new Radiator since I can't get it to want to stay cool. Its is drivable, but I wouldn't trust it for long distances. I have had fun toying with it around town.
I have the 89-92 bumper on it and the 86-88 turn signals don't fit in it, but rest enough that they can be used.
I think it needs a new throwout bearing and clutch. Not sure if the clutch started slipping because of the heat from the engine. Just started doing it. But the throwout bearing stops wining when your in 4th and 5th gear.
The oil pressure does not work on the gauge cluster, every thing else does.
Can be reached at (616) 446-7181 ask for Ryan

Well I always wanted the fan to be on. I think after replacing all the sensors and the thermostat that it would work right. I don't want to mess with putting a new radiator in it either.

I'll take the shell if you decide to sell the engine/ecu/trans.
How much rust in on the body?
body rail, floor boards, fenders...ect
