Yes the stripping has started: 20"wheels, front suspension & front brakes all sold. Just the Interior , MX7 5spd gearbox & 6puk clutch & Link ECU to go, Then fit the cage, rebuild engine, fit new ECU ( Microtech or Autronic), powerglide trans with transbrake & front runners & 10" rear Micky Thompsons. Then tune engine, wind boost to 28psi and run 9 second passes all day long.

Just get a link knock sensor and wire it in with the ECU it will run it, but car will be at brock cruise first so I can try and sell it complete at this stage, Best place to get exposure to buyers that would purchase this car.
