Hi all, hope you had a good Christmas...
As I'm building up to starting to restore my FC I've been watching YouTube restoration videos, for tips on how to go about it all. I'm completely new to swinging an angle grider about so I need all the help and info I can get.
The chanels that I've seen are pretty low subscription wise so quite tough to find, I'll link the two I've been watching (non Mazda content) any more worth while?
Cheers
Rich

Be great if you started a build thread in the FC section, they are such a rare beast now in the UK, I estimate there is only about 25 left roadworthy in UK! Be great to see some pictures .

I did put a few pics up when I got it, it's certainly not roadworthy, didn't realise there were so few?
I know coupe t2's are rare but convertibles too?

Mazda UK in one of their posts stated 350!
"This most likely explains why only an estimated 350 examples of the second generation RX-7 were sold here. The rarest of the lot was the cabriolet, and precise production numbers are hard to come by"

a figure of 350 seems very very low doesn't it?
