ok day wasn't the greatest... my first day of school. school isn't that bad but it is school.



ok i got though school



i was hungry so i went and grabbed something at arby's comming back this lady does a fast stop. I slam my breaks, they lock up i start sliding. Bam rearended her . i look at my car the front is pushed in about 1cm or so. i still have yet to find a mechanic that i can trust to work on the 7.



if anyone could help me repair it or would like to buy it for a reasoniable amout i am open to any ideas at this point



it is a 86 se



engien works fine no leaks

interior is almost flawless

a few things with the interior is the drivers seat has wear not major just the fabic is worn and the side is cracked



extieror the passenger tail light needs replaced

needs some work on the rear bumper

and as of today the front bumper needs some work as it was pushed in about 1cm



this is the worst day for me yet, i loved the 7 and before todays events i could have repaired it so it was in almost stock condition with the exception of the stero



i am open to any ideas right now as i am currently

You're going to sell the car because you got into a little accident?

I have a 87 base in the back bay of my shop that we stripped down to be a dedicated Autocross car. Now with the rule changes my street car it just about at the min. weight. There is no need to build this car anymore. I paid $70 for it and like an idiot threw away a lot of the parts off of it. But I have the whole exterior on it still lights front and rear bupmer fenders etc... If anyone wants free parts off of it you only have to figure out how to get them or pay me to ship them.



Or better yet come get the whole car and make a kick *** 1/4 mile car out of it. Its free.



I was going to send it to the junkyard. I would rather give you guys the parts or the car.



technics - I am not looking for any special recognition. It makes me happy to help out / do nice things for, other people. Especially fellow rotor heads.

I have a parts car (rx-7) in my yard. I watched a guy pull the front bumper off while I sipped a glass of lemonade. It took him no more than 30 minutes, maybe 15, but I'm sure it felt longer because it was like 98* outside.



my point is: it didn't seem very difficult at all. He just needed a really long socket extension at one point, but that's about it.
