Title: Here\'s my project FD! Purple with suspected chipped seal!
Post by: ramirez on May 16, 2009, 09:04:04 AM
I picked this up from a young lad in Preston at a very low price.

It is MOT\'d, serviced recently and in good condition body wise. It\'s had a respray in maroon while in Japan.

It was sold as running well, but a day later after getting it checked by Lindop Bro\'s in Queensferry there is almost no compression on the front rotor with readings of "High, Low Low" which implies a chipped seal.

The rear rotor was better with 7.5, 7.3, 7.5 which could be less work to servce come rebuild time.

Thankfully I have second  car so the RX7 will be sat in my dad\'s garage soon ready for work to pull and rebuild the engine by myself with some help from a current employee of the Ford rally team :D

Here\'s some pics!

Gongrats on the new purchase, like the colour, so what are your plans for the car after the rebuild?
