Hi from the sunny South Coast, UK..

Post by HARDCORE »

Hi Everyone, I'm Andy Hardcore and this is my RX7..

She's an '83 FB, with a freshly built 13B and it otherwise completely standard. I bought it last year from a good friend who had owned it forever, and have a lot of plans I look forward to cracking on with :D

Looking a bit sorry for herself at the moment, but don't worry about that - in time all will be swell 8-)

Thanks! :) Previous owner had the car for years, 12 or more I think, and it spent most of that time in Essex so far as I know - that rings any bells? I do know she was very active in the rotary scene in the late nineties, organising events and suchlike, so you may have seen it around then..?

Re. mopping the paintwork - it needs more than that I'm afraid.. A bit of rust on the rear, by the bootlid, old (good) repairs to the front wing want redoing, front bumper needs replacing really (Terri somehow found a fire hydrant in Essex, probably the only one..) - all means I'm going to paint it, which is a chance to make it a bit more to my tastes 8-)

Hi Mate,

A series 3 FB. Has to be a 1984 car or later.
Yeh, Terri's old car.

Welcome from me.

Yep, that's the one :D Terri & I are pals, and share a workshop. AOG is parked next to her RX3 as we speak..
Whilst it's mine now, Terri can still use it whenever she wants, and I've run all my plans past her to make sure she isn't mortified :lol: more on that later..

Hiya Andy, welcome to the forum. I certainly recognise the first photo spot, here's one of my red RX-7 in what looks like the exact same bit of Madeira Drive :shock:

Yeah, wrong flavour of RX-7, so sue me lol. Anyhoo, good to see Terri's car finding a good home. I understand she's been busy with the RX-4. Been setting good lap-times, from what I hear ;)

Hiya mate - looks the same spot, yeah. You're local then..?

Are you on RetroRides? (Luckyseven?) - we have a monthly meet (next Weds) if you're free / fancy it..?

Had a great day at Anglesey with Terri in the RX4 yeah 8-)

Yeah, that's me, Boss ;) Thought I recognised the username, good to have you with us! I'm just down the road in sunny Worthing (well, that's what it says on the carrier bags, anyway).

I fancy it, yeah, if I can get a pass from SWMBO. Blimey, might be the first RR Wednesday meet I can make, usually they coincide with me working lates

Any photos from Anglesey? No spoilers, just interested in the RX4.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......
