i went and looked at the one i mentioned earlier with the messed up u joint. It had some body damage some dents and dings the trim around the windows were rusted. The antenna was broke off the paint behind the sunroof was looking kind of bad. The hood looked a little messed up but wasnt to bad. One of the door handles was broke .The trim around the back window needed replacing and the interior was a little ruff some of the vent covers were missing and the steering wheel had a couple of gashes in it and the carpet needs replacing. i didnt get a chance to test drive because the guy has it sitting in a parking lot and wasnt there. Theres one thing though it looks like its been sitting a while. The guy wants 1500 or best offer so im offering 550 and going from there. Around how much will it cost to get all the stuff i mentioned?

 

sounds like me car when i bought it.

 

Sounds like it is in pretty rough shape. I'd just hold out for a 7 in better shape.

 

I take it you STILL havent bought a car yet? Seem to be jumping around a awfull lot, new car, demo car, MX-3, and now a ratty RX, make up your mind already!

 

ive wanted a rx7 for a while but they never show up around here a lot. thats why i started looking at the other ones but now i just lost my old job and i cant aford the other new ones. so when i saw this one in the paper and i went to check it out becuase i thought it might be alright. maybe if the guy will take 500(more than likely he wont ) ill buy it and fix it up little by little im working on figuring out a price for the parts i know it needs but ive still yet to see it run so it could be more.

 

ok so far it is going to be 433.82 for the window seals inside and out

drive shaft and vent covers the only other things i need is the seal for the hatch, the antenna mast ,carpet set, seat covers ,steering wheel cover, some paint for the dash(it has red interior and i cant stand it) and two door handles any ideas where i can get this stuff i tried mazda trix but they didnt have it atleast that i could see.

 

Do you have any nice self-service junkyards down there? We have a pretty big one here in Richmond. Last time I went, they had one 2nd gen that hadn't been picked over yet, and it would have been a great car to pick a bunch of pieces off of. There's really nothing more enjoyable than pulling parts you need off a car that isn't yours, and this way, IT'S LEGAL! (Well, you DO have to pay for them.)

 

Any news on the car? Maybe you could find a parts car somewhere, and make 1 good car from 2

 

Nothing yet i tried calling the guy tonight but he wasnt home. Ill try agian tommorow. Theres just on problem with the parts car idea after i fixed one of them more than likely id feel like i had to fix the other one.
