This was put up on CL about a week ago, put a down payment on it and then went and picked it up with choda Little bit of rust here and there, but this looks to be a perfect candidate for a restoration. 114k chassis, 32k on motor shitty pics ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/WP_001657.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/WP_001657.jpg) ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/WP_001658.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/WP_001658.jpg) ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/driver.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/driver.jpg) ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/passenger.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/passenger.jpg) ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/hatch.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/hatch.jpg) ![http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/panoramic.jpg](http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/gl33m4x/RX7/panoramic.jpg) ---

Had to change the alternator belt and power steering belt… Broke the air pump bolt tensioner right off but its in there good… hopefully it wont loosen up ☹ Decided to detail the engine bay, also the rotard block is two-tone, looks like it was rebuilt recently by the gaskets. I guess the guy wasnt bullshitting me when he said it had 30k miles. I’ll be doing a compression test once my starter comes in [ATTACH=CONFIG]19262[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]19261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]19260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]19259[/ATTACH] ---

I love love love it. :tup: $1500 needed belts, starter, sunroof was jammed and rusty. some fading / chipped paint on the roof and spoiler. MC and clutch slave cylinders The engine spun freely by hand so it wasn’t seized, oil was still clear Trip meter said 7xx miles I replaced the belts, ordered a new rust free sunroof, ordered the master and slave + starter. fixed the jammed sunroof motor (it was reallllly dirty) The car came with an extra sunroof motor maybe i’ll put that in tomorrow… I had to replace all this stuff on my old 86 GXL so this is easy stuff ---
