I picked up an 85 today, my first RX-7. Mechanically it seems good, and the chassis is solid, but the body and interior are pretty beat. I'm wondering how many were built, vs how many other model rx-7s were made that year.



The reason I ask is, with he shape it in, I was planning on custom fabbing some panels to replace missing ones in the interior. I'd hate to add any more drill holes than need be if this is really an oddball car, but it seems quite a few people here and on RX7club.com have them.



Also, other than hitting the salvage yard, are there any sources for steering column covers? Mine is completely gone.

Thank you very much. Looks like they've got what I need. I'll probably order the column cover from them, and fab the rest myself (cheaper that way)
