Well I sold both my old projects almost 2 years ago. Got bored with them and super sick of keeping up on appearance related items. The thought of driving either of them and parking in a parking lot anywhere made me queasy so off they went to new homes, not much fun when you have so much money into them you just don't want to drive them anymore, lol.
So as a knee jerk reaction I used the money I got from one of the cars to build another project. One that feared nothing. So I picked up an 87 RX7 for cheap and proceeded to do an LS/T56 swap on it. Crazy fun car, only have been able to drive it a couple times since completion. Buttoned most of it up just a few days before snow flew here and put it into storage for the rest of the winter.
Here's the under hood
Its future
Now onto the stuff people here care about. Ever since I sold the old Convertible my wife has been extremely upset with me. It was the car we had our first date in and we used to do family cruises all the time. Nothing like tossing the car seat in and cruising in a Supercharged Convertible.
So I have slowly been browsing for something to appease her and our son, but it could not be as nice as my last one. Just one I could be
happy with stock that will allow us to do family cruises again. RX7 being a 2 seat car kind of ruined any chance of that happening.
Well browsing craigslist a few days ago I stumbled across a deal I could not pass up. Car is in need of a lot of TLC, but should keep me busy over the rest of winter getting ready for nice weekend cruises. It has been sorely neglected for what I guess is several years. As I scrub through the scum I am finding a lot of promise however.
I will be putting a thread up in the build section once I get going. Should be interesting to see where I end up with it in comparison to where it is now...
Anyways, just thought I would stop in and say Hi! :wave:
Oh yea heres a quick pic I snapped of the scum bucket, lol.
