I need  help,  All I had on me was 85 bucks or I would have bought more
Grinder , sawzaw, tranny jack,  jack stand,  battery drill,  huge socket set and huge wrench set

There was a  1985 rx7   for 500 ,  and a real good rider mower for 900.   in Emerald acres Lafayette

Do you need glasses?  What's in that red case on the right?  That's one of those fancy hammers with interchangable heads.   ;D  That's not a hammer you say?  If it is heavy, has a long handle and is made of metal, it qualifies as a hammer in the "triangle."   :D  Not that I'm speaking from experiance or anything . . ..  ::)

Can we talk about something besides jacking up trannies?

And, my bad on the hammer set Zen... I forgot to put on my triangle safety glasses (known in our part of the world as beer goggles) before looking at the pic.

i'm crazy happy about this non running rx7.  I am afraid to work on it.  If it turns out to be sporting  a fried motor,  I'll be depressed.  SC

Rx7 are rotory. Let the games begin. I can't believe you bought that thing.

In High school these rx7's came out,  I worked for a temp service in FWB Fla,  and got to wash Mazda's on certain days of the week.  I would drive brand new ones from the lot to  back of the shop,  Hose em down, dry'em  and drive them back the 100 yards  Thinking to myself..  Someday  Baby.... you'll be mine.   SC
