Restoring an Abandoned Mazda RX7 EP. 15 She Moves
ABSOLUTE MASSIVE PROGRESS, The Mazda RX7 is not only back on the ground BUT it also has a full drivetrain now. We should have an engine back in this car in a few days as well. With the drivetrain, I decided to have everything dry ice blasted. and while it did do a great job at cleaning all the old dirt off. It was not clean enough for me to want to toss it back into the car. so we are getting a little creative with cleaning this thing up!

Restoring an Abandoned Mazda RX7 EP. 14 / Tearing Down the 13B
Просмотров 8 тыс.День назад
The 13B That I had already built always sketched me out in the back of my mind. The rotary engine is not as scary as some people make it out to be. But it never had the engine balanced or clearance. This time we will be doing that. Luckily we have Atkins rotary local so we can drop off our engine with them for some work! Also prepping to have a good chunk of parts Dry Ice blasted to get the dri...

Getting the RX7 closer to not only becoming a rolling chassis again but getting this thing fully painted. The RX7s Rear diff and transmission head out for Dry Ice blasting next week and I think I may have the power steering rack knocked out as well. Once those items are back in we should be able to move this thing and get cracking on our 13B. This RX7 restoration has come a long way but still h...

Getting ever so closer to getting this 1993 Mazda FD RX7 complete. We still have a TON of things to paint. So figured we would knock out everything we possibly can right now. At this point, all that is left is the Hood, Doors, Hatch, and some small bits here and there. It's insane to finally see this thing look like a car again and it's looking so good!
