New Project! Codename POPS

[Victorsanders]

Hi everyone, Name is Vic and im from Westerham in Kent.

Im now on my 2nd FB as my first was left to me by my late father.

Since then i had to get rid of my previous FB which was nicknamed "Lady Di" by my father, as unfortunately due to rust it did not survive.

Since then i have been searching high and low for a new RX7 so that i could rebuild it to look like my dads.

I still have the TWR bodykit and steering wheel ready and waiting to go on!

My new RX7 is from a lovely elderly gentleman in Devon.

It needs a bit of TLC, Well to be honest it needs a lot of TLC.

Im currently trying to source a replacement rear axle due to the dreaded rust!

Any ways the new project is nicknamed "Pops" after my dad and will be rebuilt of memory of

Any hints, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and i look forward to sharing my new project with you all

Hi Vic, welcome to the forum, no shortage of info/advice on here, good pictures.
All us elderly gentlemen in Devon are lovely
regards Pete

Haha, thank you Pete.

Many more photos where that came from.

You dont happen to know where i can source a replacement axle do you?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Il show you what state mine is currently in :/

[Victorsanders]

Here is one of the reasons. I have many other photos but the pixels are too high :/

Wow, that's about the worst I've seen. How's the shell?

[Victorsanders]

The shell needs a bit of welding but its not irrepairable!

Its just this axle that im worried about, the rust has blown through into the shaft and i cant find a replacement anywhere

There was a NOS rear axle housing on EBay for weeks. Can't see it there now so it must have sold within the last few days

That's a nice looking car Vic... there are usually a few 2nd hand axles floating about, I gave one away a few months back.... make sure you get one off a series 3 RX7 though as they are different between the different series.
This guy was beaking a S3 in Devon...

Might be worth giving him a ring to see if the axle is still available?

Good luck with your new car and if you get chance, please start a build thread in 'Rides & Projects' so we can follow your progress and give you all the help we can
