Stu. 1st one (silver) is a Gen 1 12a so not the same as mine. Second is obviously cabrio and turbo so different to mine too. There isnt £600 worth of parts off that car that I need, plus being as old as mine there will be the same scuffs/knocks/dents that will need repairing on panels I could use. Plus its 3x what I paid for mine. I have looked at every RX7 car and spare listed on ebay over the last few days and prices for the parts I need have led me to repair mine. I really havent got the funds for this but Im giving it a go.

Its an on going project and will be one of those that sits in the garage for months at a time before something is done.

Long term plan is body looking standard (still undecided on spoiler or no spoiler), coilovers but not too low, 16" staggered BBS style wheels with polished lip and gold centres and polished stainless pipes.

Engine/power is yet to be decided but it will all come down to £££.
 
Heres an insight to the repairs needed to bring it up to a presentable standard. Sorry about the blurry pics but the lens on the camera is fucked.

This is the pile of rust I swept up after my inspection.

definitely going to keep you busy mate, I would say the engine is the least of your worries. Bodywork will keep you busy. But once in good condition, that will be one beautiful car
 
I just think thats been done to death now.

Id love some BBS split rims with gold faces but its what everyone expects.

Dymags will look awesome and white on red wins.
 
I don't think I could be arsed doing all those repairs, so fair play.
Can you get replacement wings?
