8.17.07 The Beginning

The beginning of Project Nana. This will be an on-going project that will probably go on for a couple years. Just a little expensive hobby I picked up....
So I Purchased a 1988 10th Anniversary Turbo II RX7 with about 85000 miles. Only 1500 made in the USA. Paid $6000 for the car and another $735 to ship it to my house all the way from Trumbull, Connecticut. To my surprise upon receiving the car, It needed an engine rebuild. So heres another $3700. Total being $10,500.

Here is the Check for the engine rebuild. There was a $500 deposit(not shown) which totals to $3698.44.

For my own future reference engine has been rebuilt at aprox. 85100 miles

$3698.44
