Well, it's October, and the RX7 is getting ready to hibernate. Saturday was a gorgeous day, so I decided to take the car out for one last photo shoot before winter comes.

I don't own a digital camera so they were taken using a disposable camera and then put on a photo disc (and then cropped). I've been driving this car all week, I figure I'll put her away on the 20th, to emerge once spring hits full force! Hopefully by then with racing seats, wheels, slight sound system and new carpet. |
nice pics! that car is nice enough that it could be really badass without a ton of work... it needs some wheels, stance, and a little bodywork.
|
Yeah, I know. The underside is clean too, as it was a texas car for most of it's life.
I'm focusing on the interior this year because... well, something lived in there at some point. Let it sit in the sun on a hot day, and you gotta air it out before you get it. It's a shame, because the carpet and seats are in excellent condition... they just reek. |
i would find someone who has sat in an SA before, they have a unique smell
|
Nice pics, I like the car.
as far as the smell, maybe if you yank the seats and carpet out and give them a good cleaning it will get better. |
I'm just going to yank them and replace them. I want to color match my interior to my planned exterior paint job...
RX8 red mica (whatever it's called) on black. |
its prolly moisture seeping in from the driver-side-rear wheelwell...but you did say it was a Texas car so its probably without the typical rustpot where the cubby holes would be.

No, it smells like old rat pee. I've owned lots of old (barn) cars before, I know the smell, I know how to fix it, and it involves re-interioring the vehicle. I think my door panels and headliner should be good though, I hope so because they are in really good shape.
