Thumbs up Found this sitting next to a garbage pile.

I found this sitting next to a pile of old TVs and dressers to be thrown out by my neighbor across the street. I think he owned an older RX7 at some point. What should I do with it?

I figured I'd maybe make a clock out of it or something. Suggestions?

Any suggestions for what to clean it with? It's got a bit of rust and a lot of grime on it as you can see.

Either way, it's kind of a cool looking prop to have around the house.

Yes, sandblast & powercoat and display. If he knew you had an RX, he should have ask if you wanted it.

I've got "trash" exactly like that which I need to throw out!

FWIW: That is out of an '86-'88 RX-7. If I could see the other side I could tell if it was na or turbo.
