Great work, well done.

How long did all this take?

It took 6 of my days off, that I only get 1 of a week.

We purposefully went slowly as it was always an idea to do a few of these.

If we wanted to get one done now I'd say it could be done in 4 days.

1 to pull the engine,
1 to strip it down and clean,
1 to rebuild,
And 1 to refit.

And in the whole job not 1 bolt was rounded or sheared. Everything came apart and went back together as it should've. It was a fun job!

Fair play, it's so nice to see someone buy a car and bring it back to life these days, when 99% of people just break for parts.
Must admit to having a soft spot for an RX7.... (all of the MK's actually!)

I remember JC raving about these on Top Gear when they were new and thinking if only I could afford one.. now, not much later, they must be one of the quickest depreciating production cars on the market!

Good work mate, looks like you've bagged yourself a bargain.
