DON\'S 1st GEN PURCHASE

[don wyatt]

Hi chaps,
I have officially arrived in the RX 7Heaven.
Went to look at TMX today.and here is the run down on the car.

She is Solid, no rot, no repairs EVER, tiny bit of surface on the return lips of the rear arches, and thats about it. A few cosmetics to sort out, the lady owner has pushed the front bumper in about 1.5 inches on one side, so bodyshop job, and there are two small dings, one on the o/s wing top, one on the bonnet.

The interior is generally very good, with a couple of areas needing a tidy, like one of the centre air vents, the vanes have collapsed, that sort of thing, carpets and seats are a little grubby, and I want PERFECTION lads, so its seats out and a major clean up, to the whole cabin. Paintwork is very good, the car has been garaged all its life.
She is a genuine, 1 lady owner, all mots evident, 53k on the clock, (just over 2000 miles each year). not a great deal of history, (the owners have a mechanic in the family who has serviced the car before each mot on a yearly basis). Original bill of sale, (very interesting this shows a earlier ist gen being traded in). Other paraphernalia comes with the car, cant wait to see this.
Engine is sweet, stainless exhaust sound good.
I am picking her up next week.
Conclusion. VERY HAPPY.
Stole the car at £850.00. Get this TAXED and MOTd, ready to go. he he.
happy bunny.
see pics if they load okay.

Fantastic news Don.... sounds a very good buy and at that price....... you did steal it!
The bumper is an easy repair but you need a good 2nd hand bumper bar from a breaker.
Great stuff.... well done!!

Well done Don !!!
Thats sounds like a bargain to me, I bet youre well chuffed.
The Mrs just gave me a odd look when I read your thread and went "woohoo" out loud. :Thumbsup!

I knew you\'d get it,like a kid in a sweet shop!

Your front bumper bash.
You may find it\'s just the bumper bracket that\'s folded & no damage to rest of bodywork?
If so easy to find off a scrapper.
£850 is a g8 price,virtually rot free,low mileage & a stainless exhaust.
ta stu..

Don\'s gone quiet,reckon he\'s in his garage ogling his new baby rex.

[syebba]

One thing you will find with rex\'s is they need constant feeding,a baby bottle of unleaded every 30 seconds should keep it happy:Laugh

Wish I was mate, not picking it up till middle next week.
first job is get that interior cleaned up to my liking. Get the shampoo machine out, I want it smelling fresh and looking new again.
good old wash down, clean up those alloys, polish the paintwork and glass, then its a quick dash around the villages to show it off.

Thanks guys, CHUFFED as ninepence.

I use that instant valay spray foam for interiors,works g8 & dose\'nt leave carpets soaking wet.
 
Your car should theorectically be a touch faster than standard,as it\'s likely all the emmissions junk went in the bin with the standard exhaust.
 
Fb\'s are good handling cars 50/50 weight distribution,very chuckable!

[syebba]

Sorry it\'s called Instant Valet,duh!

What colour is the interior? I have a complete Black interior from an Elford Turbo if you are interested...

Hate to tell you this mate but it doesn\'t matter how many magic trees you have you won\'t get rid of that fumey petroley smell-it\'s a rotary thang. You\'ll grow to love it.
