Series 3 shell for rebuild for sale...

[Ian65]

FOR    SALE    1986   SERIES 3   RX7   BODYSHELL


Up for sale is my series 3 RX7 bodyshell which has been my ongoing project for the last 16 months.







These photos are from when I bought it in Dec 2009... it\'s been in my garage ever since and does include the bonnet...which isn\'t shown here.


I no longer have the time, inclination or interest to continue with this car and I’m going to put all my time, efforts and money into my road going Elford turbo and I’ll use the parts that I’ve refurbed on that car.

This shell is complete with the exception of the running gear, engine, gearbox and hard lines for fuel and brakes and is an easy project for someone. There is some corrosion in the usual 1st  gen areas but nothing terminal.

The loom etc is intact and apart from a bit of welding and a new windscreen, the car is ready to reassemble... get one of the cheapo series 3 scrappers off ebay as a donor car and this’ll make a great project.

The majority of the underside of the shell has been stripped and coated with POR15 to protect it.

It’s really too good to scrap .....I’ll give it a couple of days to see if anybody wants to take this on but  I want my garage back asap.


Anyone interested can PM me through the forum or email me at ian08 at sky dot com.

Here’s my restoration thread featuring this car....

I’m sad not to continue with it but I’ve reached the conclusion that I’m spreading myself too thin and I’ve got so many other things going on that it’ll never get done.... I’m going to concentrate on getting my other 1st gen into tip top condition.


I paid £100 for it and that\'s what I want for it

I hope someone takes it on but if there\'s no interest, I\'ll cut it up on Monday, weigh in the shell and ebay the other bits fitted to it.... it\'s worth more to me in bits but I\'d rather it lived on really.

[A7RXY]

I\'m sure your right, but when the lengths some go to to rebuild shells this one is almost there, the wings and doors alone will make more than that, wonder what the tank is like.

[Ian65]

I\'d got that NOS tank to go on it but I\'ll keep that for my car now.
If I cut the shell up I\'ll  keep the front wings as spares... they\'re in ace condition so I might as well hang on to them..... likewise some of the interior and the original clarion stereo etc

Hi Tony,

Trind FD has 1st option on it as he was next in line to express an interest in it after Brian.
If the deal falls through, your next in line after Keith...but at the moment it\'s Keiths shout.
It should be sorted tomorrow....I\'ll let you know as soon as I know.

cheers,
Ian
