Project: "Last RX-7" by Herblenny

June 28th, 2012Update..

Things that I would do for rotary cars... Again, this isn't quite related to this build but related to my 20B Cosmo and what I would do for some of the rarest parts in the country.

I've followed this front clip for over 2 years.

It was owned by a friend Drew in ATL, GA and I found out about it just as him and his business partner was going separate ways. Due to separation, car was in a limbo and I was unable to purchase the parts. Couple of parts I wanted are, RE-A steering column pod and the RE-A bumper add on and the bumper.

After the Drew sold his half off, the front clip ended up going to his old partner... when I asked to purchase these parts, the new owner refused to sell to me the 2 parts and wanted me to purchase the entire clip. After refusing, he tells me he will never sell it to me. About 2 years later (last month), friend of mine gave me a lead and located the new owner of the clip. New owner ended up being a guy in florida whom I bought 2 x 3 rotors about 7-8 years ago. What a small world!!
I ended up driving from Bham, AL to Fruitland, FL to finally pick up the parts I been waiting over 2 years!

Loaded up the SUV and came back to Bham... all in 48 hour trip

This was my 2nd 20B clip I stripped..

Here is the first one that I stripped.

After this 3 rotor project is done, I'll be using the new front bumper and the extra hood I have and re paint the cosmo.

Other cool things I got from the Cosmo Front clip from Florida are:

MS air filter in good shape

RE-Amemiya Plug wires in excellent condition

and the RE-Amemiya Steering column pod and boost gauge. I actually contacted RE-A 2-3 years ago about getting this unit but they said they stop production and was not going to make it.

And my Cosmo as it sits today... Pulled it out of my garage to do some electrical stuff done for the house.
