Hello from Champaign, IL-USA

Post by burton302 »

Hello,

Its great to be a member of this forum! I am from Champaign, IL-USA. Earlier this summer I bought a running 1980 RX-7 5spd California car for 1 dollar! I'm 29 and an ASE and Subaru Master tech, but rotaries and carbs are both very new to me. I've done a lot cleaning, buffing, and normal maintenance so far but now I'm rebuilding the carburetor, so I'm sure I'll have a quiet a few questions. Thanks

Mike

Hi, Mike, welcome

One dollar!? :shock: Was it in a terrible state, or are you just the best barterer ever?

It was probably worth $500. It does have some substantial rust issues on the undercarriage though. I personally wouldn't have paid $500, but who can turn down a nearly free car?
