Topic: TEAM SENSORY ASSAULT brings you something ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

I'm pretty sure one of THESE has never been run:

Found rusting in peace in a garage and purchased for $100.  1973 RX2 with the ultra rare couch on the roof option.   

Still has its 12A rotary motor with 6MM apex seals.  (also notice the ultra pimp dual distributors).    We haven't has time to ascertain exactly what we are working with other than the rust and bonus wildlife that comes with the car.

She is a creampuff and I think I'm in love.   smile

I especially like the "fuck you" written in the dust on the passenger side window.  Nice touch.

Re: TEAM SENSORY ASSAULT brings you something ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

Awesome!
That does it, how can I de-rust the Neon? 'Cause two cars that rusty on the same track might cause some kind of lockjaw outbreak to happen downwind, just from the mutating effects of Lemony effluence.

Re: TEAM SENSORY ASSAULT brings you something ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

^^^ Holy Crap is right!!!

Most of the wildlife has evacuated the car but we are taking bets as to what kind of critter left a dump on the seat:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1642-1.jpg

Anyhoo, whatever it was ate a lot of berries - or maybe it ate someone's stash and thats old pot seeds.  I haven't gotten around to tasting it yet.

Turns out this car truly was sealed in a time capsule - since the Regan Era (first term btw):

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1643-1.jpg

If you don't believe me, check out the oil filter.    Thats right - TG&Y brand.   

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1645-1.jpg

This baby only has (a hundred?  two hundred?  a million?  and) SEVEN THOUSAND BABIED MILES!!!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1647.jpg

Of course a car like this has its problems.    the engine is seized...    the exhaust needs work...

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1646.jpg

Personally, *I* think the bonus items on the car make up for its shortcomings.

Like this cool Marantz brand 6x9 speaker:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1655-1.jpg

OR this SUPER COOL PIRATE LEG I FOUND IN THE TRUNK!!!   ARRRRRRGH!!!!!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/ninechaos/IMG_1653.jpg

I'm sure we can make money selling the pimp cup holders and push button start.  This baby was decades ahead of its time!!!   I guess thats why someone left it to ferment for 20 years.   smile

After closer inspection, there may be just enough car here to restore...

12A Turbo out of an mid 80's RX-7. Because a rust bucket with this little structural integrity needs is some horsepower!

Any luck on getting that rusted out rotary engine to run yet?  You guys are an automatic IOE winner!

Re: TEAM SENSORY ASSAULT brings you something ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

Engine, radiator, and oil cooler were total loss.   Rotted away and seized.

Transmission is useless  with any other generation of rotary because of its starter configuration.

All brake components seized, rusted, or rotted away.

Gas tank is awful but looks like it will hold fluid after its boiled out.

SO - replacing the original 12A engine with this one....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zQts1uQ … ature=plcp

Seemed appropriate for this car.    I MISS that engine since we went turbo and have been wanting to put it back into another car.    In fact... we might even turbo that motor, time permitting.
