FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 02:33 PM

Well just went out and picked up a cheap convertable today on an impulse buy.

feel free to ask questions AFTER the pics.

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 02:35 PM

and the last batch that ive taken, this is without washing the car and just parking it.

djmtsu · 04-25-2008, 03:57 PM

How much is cheap? $500?

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 04:06 PM

cheap as in 100-200, guy is moving out to alaska so he cant take it with him

Phoenix7 · 04-25-2008, 04:12 PM

nice buy! Mileage? TII swap?

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 04:19 PM

188,888 miles on the clock, looks to have newer shocks/struts, underbody has no rust, doesnt smoke on startup and considering its a vert it gets up and goes almost as well as my NA. But I attribute that to the lack of exhaust restictions. Powersteering works, AC 'might' work if i decide to use it.

But this is n ot a T2 swap car, bought it mainly to use the wheels and maybe the hood and then my buddy is gonna buy it off me to swap his verts interior over since his body isnt in great shape and neither is his top.

djmtsu · 04-25-2008, 04:38 PM

Damn that is a good deal!!

Seems like Cheap 7's O'plenty can be found in Blount County!!

Is that a lawn mower is see sinking in your yard?

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 05:55 PM

yes...yes it is a lawnmower thats not so much as sinking...as the leaves just pile up around it higher.

Cleaned it out and found 2 quarts of oil, $3 in change, lots of lil tools a nice clean aluminum spare tire and managed to fix a bit of the "trailer hitch" damage as im going to call it as thats just what it looks like.

Me and my buddy passed up buying a 83 limited edition last week since it looked to be too much work, needed a couple doors, fenders, seats, fusible link block, lots f body work to the rear quarters over the wheels and plug wires...it was in "ran when i parked it 3 weeks ago" shape and the guy wanted $600 for it, but the wheels were in great shape.

Is this the same 7 that I've seen sitting at a house on Topside Road?? I've passed it several times.

I have a friend who will soon be selling another black convertible.......great shape, kick-ass 5Zigen wheels, TII harness swap, just needs a TII engine (he bought a house and the 7 fell too far down the priority list). No price has been mentioned as of yet.........but you're right.....LOTS of 7's in Blount County.

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 06:15 PM

yeah same one thats been sitting on topside road

My5ABaby · 04-25-2008, 08:34 PM

If you drop the emissions stuff and air pump, can I have them?

I'm putting my emissions back on and lack a couple things.

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 08:36 PM

wait...putting emissions BACK on an fc? got fresh cat's to go with this smog free shit?

But yeah, should hellbent decide to pull the emissions ill hook ya up with em, though i coulda swore i gave someone my emissions bs...

My5ABaby · 04-25-2008, 08:51 PM

Yeah, you did. I still need more though.

I'll also undoubtedly break some shit putting stuff on so back-ups are nice.

I love driving my 7, but I hate getting out smelling like I've been sucking on an exhaust. It's fast enough as is and I'll get a nice flowing cat to not choke it too much. I'm just going to get the suspension pristine and go from there.

FirstRotaryExp · 04-25-2008, 08:58 PM

yeah that sounds good, though oddly I dont smell like my exhaust when i step out of my car...
