Thanks mate, got collection re-arranged now for Thursday. I cannot wait to get this home and start to sell bits to fund the project haha.

Awesome!! Thank you very much, much appreciated 

Thanks mate, hopefully won't be too long until I will be able to upload some good progress pics.

Haha, yes I can see why you would be slightly biased

Haha, don't worry.. there will be tonnes of photos when I get some progress 

I will 100% get a thread going on the build when I actually have some progress to put in a build thread. Hopefully won't be long 

Awesome, I appreciate that! Like I say I won't be rushing it to get complete as quick as possible so will be making sure decent parts go back on to it and I will definitely be using a rotary tuner/garage for the majority of the engine work. Thanks again 

Yeah, I am wanting to go on track days etc in it, so will be looking to get good power. Will just take my time with it and make sure it is done right so hopefully it is as reliable as can be 

Exactly my thinking, brand new engine and the body work looking how I want, should be a good start, hopefully stays that way when I get it running haha

No I'm not getting the engine, getting all the ancillaries though, so can pick and chose wether to use them all or source new. I do have a contact from the seller who gets 0 mile engines so that's a very good possibility to be honest.

No, still exactly how it was before the engine went, was a reason in me choosing this shell, as I know in parts I can recuperate a decent amount of money to buy parts I want so won't be another expense, if that makes sense.

Yes, has quite a lot of decent parts with it, and bodywork is in amazing condition, doesn't look like it did many miles since it's respray which is good!!

Yes will be staying rotary, single turbo with a street port is what I'm thinking, but that won't be happening straight away so can decide on what turbo and port to have as I progress haha

Hello, I'm Rob and have recently purchased my first RX7. I live in Derby, but work away 90% of the time in Devon, so pretty much only in Derby every couple of weekends.

I have loved FD RX7s but never been in a position to buy one, or gutsy enough to embark on a project. However, I recently took the plunge to buy a 1995 FD without an engine, to turn into my project car and bring back to life.

Whilst searching several forums I have managed to find a few good points of contact, and hoping to find even more when I actually have the project at my house and can start stripping and selling bits and re-building her.

Here are a few photos of what it looks like at the moment, however, when i do take proper ownership and have it at my house, a lot of the parts will be getting sold so I can re-build it to look exactly how I want it.

Anyway, will be nice to get to know you all and get advice when I inevitably get stuck
