Cliff\'s 1st Gen Purchase - Goldie

[Ian65]

bloody hell.... is the previous owner responsible for that?
makes you wonder what goes through some peoples minds....   not much, obviously.

Sounds like good news about the shell  though, have you got enough parts with it to put it back together?

Never managed to move Goldie into the garage today so thought I\'d better concentrate on making her watertight.  So took out the \'colander\' and hey - no guides fitted in the roof.  Routed through the boxes of spare parts and found the guides, so cleaned then up and fitted them.  Then found the roof opening/closing mechanism and fitted that too - only problem is that it is black rather than brown, none the less this is only a temporary measure as I know I have a brown one from JAZ which I can be fitted when finally putting interior back in for good.

So thats why the rear quarter lights are green!

Apparently the PO was in mind for Drifting her .... mmmmm think his mind was drifting also.  When I 1st saw it I thought wtf, omg and I forgot to bring my sun shades - in fact I think a welders screen is more apt, boy is it bright !

Must admit the advert did say that the welding work had been completed - from what I\'ve looked at quickly it has been welded in the rear boot section on the outer edged seams (I\'ll post a photo next weekend). Other than that haven\'t seen any evidence of it but as I say I haven\'t looked properly and certainly haven\'t looked under the rear end yet. I think the main area for welding will be the cross member under the rear bumper as it looks corroded. Minor corrsion at the front end which will be easily treatable.

The only parts that weren\'t supplied were
rear spoiler - have one from JAZ.
a sunroof (lets face it you can\'t class a colander as a sunroof) - have another spare from doing JAZ.
a few pieces of brown interior - I have a complete interior from JAZ.
Spare wheel - need one.
Jack / brace / wheel nut spanner - need to get these.
Need to replace seat belts - they are a little bright at the moment - have a spare set.
That a very quick summary from what I have evaluated today.

All in all I think a good buy and defintely too good to wreck or use as a drift/track car.
Unfortunately the PO didn\'t realise what he had in the RX7 and actually said that he thought he would regret selling it - I\'ll second that.

Sorry Dibs - no electric aerial at all. Why even the one fitted to Goldie is busted but as there is no radio fitted, doesn\'t need aerial. I\'ll have to hum or something when I\'m working on her.

Thanks Cliff, the last owner did he come from The Emerald Island ............

Just because it has all gone quiet doesn\'t mean that I\'m doing nothing !
Currently re-arranging the garage so that I can bring Goldie in out of the cold and dampness, should be done by the weekend hopefully. Took a photo of Goldie last night but the trouble is with the nights being so dark now, can\'t see a damn thing outside so it\'s useless trying to do anything at all.  The good thing is you can\'t see the grey primer from the rattle cans.

If he had used my camera he would have ended up with the same shot.  So that makes me as good as him in my book mmmmmmm ? or is it that he is as bad as me ?

Not quite the same name that I called the colour but close enough (and yours sounds better too) hehehe.

So thats what it is off?  Just goes to show how designers cram things under the bonnet and finish up with odd shapes - not that it really matters \'cause I\'ll be taking it off to replace with a refurbished unit from JAZ.

Managed to put Goldie inside tonight - now warm and dry.  Trouble is I couldn\'t swing a cat in there at the moment so still need to make more room so that I can work on her if the weather is bad.
