well i got it from napier about 2 years ago, like this, with the towbar,

havent been bothered taking it off, i dont mind it actually, saves

stock as a rock, but the standy 12a was pretty smoky,

so lowered it, put mags on it, raced it at meremere,

then sold the 12a, and found another wrecked rx7 with a decent 13b

bridgeport in it, and have put that in ... and current looks like this ...

aww why'd you get rid of the trash can lids hahaha :D

Looks the goods mate. Some people prefer the series 2 or 3 because of electric windows and rear disc brakes etc., but I prefer the simplicity of the Series 1.

:lol: still got the standy alloys, just sitting in the garage in the corner ...

yeh i think i prefer the series 2-3 because of the bumpers and the front guards, they look more sleek if you know what i mean,

but the series 1 is what started it all, and i found this one when i wasnt

really looking for another car, and couldnt say no :D

will probably sell it within the nxt year or so (once i've got it running right)

and put the money towards my escort project;

this is what it looked like about 6 odd years ago

top man... sell rx to finance escort

good to hear!

i would have kept it standy but hell, looks great and must go well too

almost bought me a series1 but turned out to have a rusty xmember and down/inside/back of the boot so i left it.

nice tho

yeh lots of them are rusty as, or full of bog,

mine aint perfect, photos are always decieving :D but the paint is original, so i know the little imperfections here and there .... its got a tiny patch of rust (smaller than 5c piece) near the petrol flap, but thats about it, and it hasnt grown over the 2 years that i've owned the car which is good ...

i cant keep a car standard aye, i like buying them when they're standy, but have to modify it, just the way i am 8)

and as for selling the rx to finance the escort ... well thats true,

but i wonder whats gonna be powering the escort :wink:

Ahaha sell a series one 7 for an Escort project

well yeh i guess you could say that;

although i've owned the escort longer, took it off the road about 5

years ago to do panel/paint,

but got distracted by the 7 along the way 8)

so it'l be making way to continue the escort once i've got it going

perfect and had my fun with it :D

":24gq5b4j]did u buy the parts 7 off dan from hams with the 13b bridgie in it out of pimp rx van?

yeh used that car as a doner for the engine,

sold the rest of the running gear and most of the interior parts out of it too, pretty much made my money back on the car :D

why you ask?
