So I've been living in the UK for over a year now and it seems to be, I just cant get Mazda's out of my system! after catching up with some fellow likeminded enthusiasts one thing led to another and I ended up going half's with a mate in a S1 SA rx7
story goes - previous owner restored the car a few years back, NOS rear quarters, any rot was cut out etc and sprayed in the classic go fast red finish, engine was rebuilt and everything was rad. nek minut owner had a dispute with owing money or something and someone came around and decided to use a axe on the car :shock: resulting in an insurance claim, fucked car and sitting in a wreckers waiting to be crushed..
this is were myself and Chud swept in, saw a bargain and gave her a second chance
good bits
Streetport/extendport 12A 10K old
48IDA's
Made 180bhp at the fly
Solid as a rock 8)
badbits
dings
needed front screen
pass side glass
wreckers tried stating and failed resulting in stuffing with tune
PICS
ghetto fans
one of the good things about the UK is dashes are never cracked and rarely tampered with for cd players etc!
passenger side glass smashed :cry:
clean and striped
glass out and happy to find no damage to the actual structure of the car
fixing the roof like ive seen on gypsys build thread :lol:
sorted
next up came the interior, picked up these t11 rx7 seats with rails for just under 50AUD 8) and also got a mint black s2 interior for free to complete the missing parts of the car, just needs a good clean but you get the picture
before this project commenced I bought and built some wheels for the car currently in hibernation, you guys have seen a 1000 BBS RS build threads so I wont bother ..
built the wheels and tyres on.
this is how she is currently sitting, hoping she will be on the road within the month, so a proper photo shoot will happen then. guards still need to be rolled with a roller, I used a hammer..
