X reg Gen 1 Series 2 ? - Scrap / Bits

[adarmo]

Hi guys my Dad took an X reg  (1982 ?) RX7 in PX a couple of years ago.

It was at "project status" then and now he\'s about to scrap it.

Is there a market for parts / donor cars ?

There is considerable rust at the rear and on the roof and some damage  but the bonnet / headlights look good and the front wings look ok.

Interior is now green as the drivers window was smashed yrs ago.

The engine was supposedly good but it hasn\'t run for at least 2 yrs

Is it worth advertising or not as I think I\'ve seen MOT\'d cars at £400ish so does anyone still care ?

Note he\'s ancient and I\'m too busy so if anyone wanted bits they\'d have to remove them.

So worth posting up an ad on here / Ebay or just call the scrap man ?

Thanks

your best bet is to put it on ebay as 0.99p start with no reserve and stipulate \'buyer collects\' and it\'ll find it\'s own level... not much demand for parts but it might make a few quid.... depends how bad it is.

Thats the point of this post... he can get probably £100 from the scrapman but it seems a shame if someone needs parts.

depends whats wrong with it and what it needs, throw some pictures up via photobucket, I could be interested in taking the whole thing off your hands.

if you want it used for parts, ebay is the place to put it. You\'ll reach a much wider audience on there than you will on here. On the other hand, if you want it to only go to someone on this forum, there will be fewer interested parties but someone might need the bits.... depending on their condition.
Most of it will probably end up with the scrapman in the end....they usually do. I stripped a \'Y\' reg a few months back and couldn\'t give most of the bits away.... the shell, doors, bonnet, axles, etc, etc all went in the skip.
Good luck with it.

That\'s a shame I always hate throwing good bits away. Sounds like the scrapman gets it then

somebody on here might want some bits and by listing it on ebay you\'ll probably get some takers..... but the sad truth is that there just isn\'t the demand for s2 RX7 parts in this country.

Do us a favour please.
Can you let me have the registration and colour?

I keep a register of the 250 or so remaining 1st gens....Series 1,2 and 3. (\'X\' is 1981/82, Series 2). I would like to show it scrapped if it\'s down on my list.

If you don\'t want to post on the net, you can email me on dgnock at btopenworld dot com

Also, from time to time I publish a breaker\'s list of 1st Gens breaking - it\'s no cost to you and I\'ll keep it on there for a year. But you\'ve got it hanging around not cleared at one go. If you want me to do that give us a contact number please. By the way it\'s not a condition that you have to give me the Reg.

Maybe, maybe I\'m just trying to save another FB! How come you didn\'t have the one KiwiMazda was selling?

[Skifledanabit]

oh was it that minty greenish one? with the towbar? It just didnt really pull me in... plus i was in two minds about it tbh, I\'d like a project FB, its just finding time and money to do it.

[Lacey]

Kiwi\'s one was £300 for an FB with no engine and half the stuff to re-carb and turbo it i believe..... and also with hardly any rust
