Shell doesnt weigh much, took 3 to lift mine (with welded cage in)

You selling the dash or is it going in another car?

I will probabaly be selling it but wait till i get it off first i have a whole rx7 in bits in my garage as spares. want to rid the shell when its all stripped, subframes and dash are the only bits left. those subframes are hard to get of too

How are they?

Rear is held on by 2 long bolts, 4 nuts and 2 alley keys, take it off with the diff and suspension still attached (undo 3 bolts on top of suspension)

the front, similar as rear, just use lots of lube and a big bar. piece of ****.

kieron.ash@snowandrock.com is my email. I\'m doing a ground up rebuild from a bare shell so needs lots of parts :cool

Could also use a dash (just the bare shell) for my track car. What are you doing with the shell?
