When I went and tried to rotate my tires last weekend, something amazing happened. The frame crumpled. Yes, you heard it right, the area I was jacking my car up on was so weakened by rust, it caved in. I knew I had to do something about it fast, here is my solution:

I've already talked the guy down to $175 and it's only an 8 hour drive from Manawa. Why buy this one when their are others in Wisconsin? Easy, this one is great looking, low miles on the chassis, paint is in decent second gen shape (good thing I know a guy with a body shop), the brake rotors haven't been sitting in dirt for months or years (like they do in salvage yards), no rust, and a good interior. It also has another full set of tires.
The plan: swap my motor and transmission. Think of it as a heart tansplant, my cars current body can no longer live, too much abuse, but the heart works great, so we're going to give the heart to a new car, and have fun with it. It'll give me a good idea on how to really own a RX-7, because swapping motors is what we get good at.
And my baby, my current car, I don't know what I'll do with the remains, but she may live again.
