Chopped up a RX7 today

Was some good stress relief & fun. The car was scrap to begin with, so no it was by NO means ,in remotely rebuildable shape. Saved the brakes & suspension off of it.
I love my saws-all.

Gotta love the Sanford & Son look.
I am the one in the center

For a living I get my VA disablilty check.

Besides my family, automobiles are my life. I go to the shop just to have something to do. I dont make money or nothing doing this. I just help out & now. I still do get my hands quite dirty, but nothing like I used to.
So it is my past time, but it is also my present & my future..I am teaching my son as well.
The RX& in the back, has a T72 turbo 1600cc injectors & a Megasquirt.

Sorry, I missed your post. Thank You, yeah, I am having some good fun here...when I am not at the hospital. Yeah, if you can get out of the USA, do it man. It is only going to get worse. I am sure everything will get better eventually, but not in my or my childs lifetime.

I dont work there. Just hang out & tool on my car. I help him out alot though. I am helping him setup the shop for painting cars, finding the right tools & teaching body work & such. Tomorrow we are going to the Sherwin-Williams & see about setting up an account with them. Just things to keep me busy. Went with the squirt just because. He has learned alot about fuel & timing maps & such. The squirt is a fairly easy system to setup. I am going to be setting one up in my 240 right shortly.
