You're very right for what you're doing. I'm a mechanic for BMW, and to restore that car is totally not reasonable. Also, you're not going to find a date on those tires when they were made, dot numbers weren't added to tires until the late 90's. That's also proof that it went into the river before the late 90's.
Why? OH GOT THIS IS ABSOLUTE SACRALIGE! as a person who dedicates their life to cars this is upsetting. No I know it isn’t fixable at all, it just hurts. Though some parts are actually really good condition on it. I’d love a car even if it didn’t run and was absolutely destroyed.
Sam is an absolute saint and mastermind to have edited all these hours of footage. That many hours times however many different cameras there are! So much work went into this series, great job guys! (and gals!)
You seem to be really enjoying yourself tearing this car apart, and its also apparent your daughter is having a great time being able to share the moment with you.
I got my first car in April 1984. A 1977 mini. Dad bought it secondhand for me. Was a fabulous little car for a student. In 1985, I was at my parents place and the car was parked at the bottom of the driveway. It was pouring rain and the shihtzu kept going to the window and growling. Mum looked a couple of times and saw nothing and said to the dog, it was nothing and just the rain. The next day a friend came over and we planned to drive into Sydney but the mini wouldn’t start. We ended up driving her car. Dad said he’d look at the car whilst we were away and it must be something with the battery as he’d just put a new one in the week before. Dad looked at the battery (in the boot) and couldn’t find a problem so he called road service, who came out and looked and said the battery was fine. Then lifted the bonnet and the engine had been stripped out. I was devastated. I was a student nurse working shift work including night shifts and needed the car to get about and to work. Dad was irate. He spent days roaming the neighbourhood looking in people’s yards for someone working on a mini. Never found anything.
I would love to see a video covering all the environmentally hazardous stuff that is in a car and potentially getting into the waterways. Obviously the battery, oil, etc. But this could be an interesting learning session and why your work is so important!
Less than 4000 miles... Dam shame. Can't believe how relatively easily the lug nuts & wheels came off. Thank you. It has been interesting content during the lock out.
I’m 62 and always watched the goonies with my kids (my nephews before they were born), they bought themselves and me that shirt. I do wear it. Nice to see the great relationships with your kids. Nice channel and the purpose you serve.
I love the Father/Daughter vibe you have going on with your girls. All of your videos are entertaining but the best ones are the videos with either one of the girls in them. The dad jokes work much better when you have an offspring around to groan at you. Keep up the great work and keep having fun.
Cool video!! The car really didn't look that bad when it came out of the river. Then you rolled it over and it can be clearly seen how badly it's rotted out. Next time before you start destroying the car, take the side marker light lenses off. They could actually be quite valuable and easily removed. The live auction should be interesting!!
Hi David Mack it's Kiki the camera girl. Just wanted to say thank you so much for supporting our channel. Hope to see you during the Live Auction on Sunday.😁👍 th-cam.com/video/iLVSshl_zVI/w-d-xo.html
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Hi Kiki!! I *LOVE* your channel!! I am VERY happy to support it and even be a part of it here and there! I should be home from work in time to catch it and am looking forward to it! Should be *fun*!!
You should of restored that car jarrad.no I'm only joking.was watching a old patty mayo video this morning and u was his camera man so I mentioned u in the comments.big thumbs up for what u do and what your doing with that car.much love a d respect to you your family and all your crew for all you do to keep us entertained and watching your videos.I think there the best on you tube.
All these people who are salty that you tore it apart, hey! Go pull your own car out of the drink and you can do whatever you want. Problem:solved. I loved this series.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose oh it's 100% possible but the ends don't justify the means. There's nothing special about a first gen rx7. If it had been a 1 of 2 concept or it had been some famous racecar. Restoring it might have some value. But this is just a run of the mill rx7. Outside of having no miles it on.
I'm honestly curious to what happened to that mustang you gotten out of the river a few videos back. That mustang needs to be brought back to life again.
I own one of these cars, bought it over 20 years ago. Anything metal in your wreck sure is going to be trash but a lot of the plastics would probably be OK. Do you do international shipping to Australia? Did the centre console fascia survive the disassembly? It is the piece that had the stereo in it
Great video (As always) I am so looking forward to supporting you with either a purchase tomorrow or a coin when they come out! Such destruction is good for pent up energy, you won't be anxious for a while because you have that car to trash. Keep up the good work.
You could have stamped out some sort of souveneirs from the car's relatively flat panels. As for the engine- it normal to remove the engine from the frame, not the frame from the engine. It worked well!
It felt so amazing when I watched you pull it out of the water, now I'd rather watch it sit in a junk yard than being in your hands. "Any car guys would know it's not worth restoring" well yeah if you don't know the value of that car.
@joseph baska the last few American cars he pulled from the water fell apart just from the weight of the Mudd in them and all the rot lol. This old Mazda was still rock solid for the most part 🤷🏻♂️
Haven't finished watching yet. Big fan of your channel, but I would like to say. To raise more money for your channel there are a few things on these cars that are worth something . Like on this rx-7 wheels for instance they are getting harder and harder to find. Those curved trianglure glasshard to find. Emblems that are in good shape, the air cleaner cover you had in your hand lots of little things like that. But I agree with you the car isn't worth restoring a a hole.
Without the rear glass, it lends itself to being a targa with a removable sunroof and fold-up convertible for the rear, leaving the center bar in place. Wonder if Mazda ever considered it?
If your saving the copper wire and aluminium you might want to take the starter and alternator and all of the electric motors off for the copper that you can get and if you save as many batteries and lead wheel weights you can make boat anchors
I will be bidding on most of the parts. Also, I forgot to mention, try and save that plastic side trim and marker lights. They will pop off with flat head screw driver and side marker lights and side signal lights/reflectors will come off with Phillips head screw driver. :)
Jared, I would love to have the radio and the clock. Please let me know what I need to do to get them. Thank you very much, and please keep up the great video 👍💯
That car was definitely too far gone. There is a story you should check out though of a man who rescued a Shelby Cobra from a river and restored it. Really neat story. Of course it didn’t spend 30 years underwater like the RX7.
Yes definitely too far gone most Asian cars can’t take any kind of collision and do very good but when you got the entire body as rusty as that there’s no structural integrity to speak of
I’m surprised you didn’t try to take the tires off and keep them aired to see how long it takes for them to go flat. It’d give you a good idea of whether or not you can save them depending on actual water deterioration. Imagine all the free tires 😭😂😂😂😂
I can't believe how low the mileage was! Less then 4k what a shame. Oh and YOU COULD'VE RESTORED THAT RX7! All you needed was another RX7 to replace that broken RX7!
I am not sure, but I think back in the 80's they did not have the date on the tyres yet. Would be interesting to take the remaining 2 and fit them to a car and do some burnouts to see if they can still take it.
Funny, about the same time you were saying it couldn't have been insurance fraud I was thinking that's probably exactly what it was. I was guessing someone couldn't pass up the nice new shiny sports car until they had to pay the first month or two of the loan and realized they couldn't afford the loan and insurance. I see a lot of people take loans thinking they can make the payments but they never factor in insurance and other costs that come along with it.
Was this car stolen? It would be neat to know the whole story of this car. Someone may stumble across this video and think “Hey could that be my old RX7?”
Adventures with Purpose Do you ask the local or any law enforcement if they want to check the vin# through NCIC? That could clear a lot of stolen vehicle cases. Sorry, retired LE we always think about those things. Excellent bonding time with your daughters. They’ll always remember how much fun it was. Stories for grandkids to hear.
I am about 7 months late. But did you check the hood if it is aluminium? (My Miata hood is) I very much enjoyed the cleaning videos and I also like patina. And if I happen to build a rat car again (crappy from the outside - technically solid) I want this kind of patina. I already did rust, real and artificial rust coatings. But a patina that happens to withstand power washing, soap and a electric powered brush. Amazing. Edit: Why the fuck did he cut the axle shaft? It was completely in oil and preserved. One of the few useable things!!!
The date code on tires made after 2000 are a 4 digit code. Any tire made before 2000 only have 3 digits. 1st 2 are the week, last 1 is the year. Good luck!
@Simone's Truckla shout out! have looked for a foundry / smelter in your area? I think you are going to have issues trying to melt this down in your back yard. OMG A car shield ad lol.
Finally REVEALED... I couldn't believe how many miles were on the RX7 Car Odometer... 🚗😲
Nice father daughter project , nothing can be messed up any worse lmao ✌🤭

It's engine rotary?
Irineu você não sabe nem eu yes
Adventures with Purpose restore it
That honestly breaks my heart, poor car barely even saw the light of day. So so sad
That car has been in water for as long as I've been alive just about. I turned 37 last month lol
Sweet.. Happy Birthday
@@AdventuresWithPurpose thank you 🥰

No I know it isn’t fixable at all, it just hurts.

It was under water for years not much you could use

People who steal suck. What a shame. Why steal a car just to dump in river.
You seem to be really enjoying yourself tearing this car apart, and its also apparent your daughter is having a great time being able to share the moment with you.
It's a bonding time of father and daughter, one they'll recall in years to come!

I bet you were irate.I grew up with mini's as they were my dad;s favourite cars,
AMAZING! Thanks for sharing
@12:27 its not a Mazda RX7 truck Addition... its a its a Mazda RX7 EL Camino its a RX-MINO⁷
Free Rx7 low miles ran when parked in the river in 1984

I am always happy when you post a new video😃
Yay! Thank you!
Basically what you’ve been doing is what I did to prepare a car for a demolition derby. Fun video.
That air cleaner housing is the best part of the car. And one of the very few things still good enough for someone to use.
Thats amazing how the tires held air.

You all had way to much fun taking that apart lol 😆
Love the dog buddy plus watching from paisley near Glasgow Scotland 🏴 keep up the great work guys
The "shhhh don't tell mom" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shhh 🤫... there’s a lot we don’t tell her.
Awesome TH-cam channel.
Thank you!
another fantastic video, it hurts to see, but there was no saving this car, the time and effort would never justify the end result

Sitting in another yard right now.
Those side marker lights on front and rare save them as well.

restore it and use it , thats is a treasure man
There should be platinum in that barely used catalytic converter.
I like you're diving and recovery videos. But these I can do without
Man it’s amazing how easy those wheels looked to get off. My old Dodge is usually terrible to get them off!
Hewo again and dang I can't believe it has been under water for that long I would have thought maybe it was under water for less time
It now considered modern art
Boa noite
Ótimo vídeo brothers

Check that radiator because if I am not mistaken that will still be copper back then.
Jared I saw you with Patty Mayo you are pretty good with the camera
You are Awsome you show come search the river in bullhead city Arizona I’d like to meet you thanks for actually checking the miles
To be fair this car was a museum piece
Once again, I am baffled as to why I enjoyed watching an American dad, cutting up a random car found in a river for no other reason than he can
😂🤣
Third? I love rx-7s
I own one of these cars, bought it over 20 years ago. Anything metal in your wreck sure is going to be trash but a lot of the plastics would probably be OK.

That part did not survive. Pay shipping and we’ll ship anywhere.

Such destruction is good for pent up energy, you won't be anxious for a while because you have that car to trash.

There must be some usable parts on that
The reusable parts would be few. Any of the glass windows could be salvaged, but not much else.
@joseph baska the last few American cars he pulled from the water fell apart just from the weight of the Mudd in them and all the rot lol. This old Mazda was still rock solid for the most part 🤷🏻♂️
@@RobertNES816 certainly held up much better than the mach 1 mustang did thats for sure
The air cleaner cover was perfect until he ruined it by cutting thru the hood into it. This man is a bull in a china shop! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
joseph baska we saw how good that American made 73 Mustang was when that was pulled. (And I own one) Mazda was in good shape considering
Put all the pieces on a trailer and take it to a body shop and record the reaction whenever you say you want it fully restored
LOL... That's a good idea.

Why couldn't you restored the car! WHY?!
I agree.. they make enough cash off posting videos. Some one would have sponsored them
The car is literally fucked. Rotted and damaged all over.
Just be happy parts are being salvaged
The integrity of literally every part of that vehicle has been deteriorated beyond restorable . Maybe minus a part or two.
Without the rear glass, it lends itself to being a targa with a removable sunroof and fold-up convertible for the rear, leaving the center bar in place. Wonder if Mazda ever considered it?
If your saving the copper wire and aluminium you might want to take the starter and alternator and all of the electric motors off for the copper that you can get and if you save as many batteries and lead wheel weights you can make boat anchors
When she was underwater in the Real world they have been 5 president,12 iphone,the end of the cold war,the war on terror and Irak.
Was hoping this could be restored.
I will be bidding on most of the parts. Also, I forgot to mention, try and save that plastic side trim and marker lights. They will pop off with flat head screw driver and side marker lights and side signal lights/reflectors will come off with Phillips head screw driver. :)
Poor mazda probably cahdidate for the restoration
Nothing wrong with that car! It'll buff out.

why???? some parts will be restored , plastics parts , it very saad
Was this car stolen? It would be neat to know the whole story of this car. Someone may stumble across this video and think “Hey could that be my old RX7?”
Unfortunately we don't know the backstory on this one. Usually the cars we find are either stolen or insurance fraud
Adventures with Purpose
Do you ask the local or any law enforcement if they want to check the vin# through NCIC?
That could clear a lot of stolen vehicle cases.
Sorry, retired LE we always think about those things.
Excellent bonding time with your daughters. They’ll always remember how much fun it was. Stories for grandkids to hear.
nobody let the vargas brothers or hurt see this
i hope they do
why
you know dam well they have seen this video lol or at least one of the previous videos
10,800 miles? 😂🤘
😱
I am about 7 months late. But did you check the hood if it is aluminium? (My Miata hood is)
I very much enjoyed the cleaning videos and I also like patina. And if I happen to build a rat car again (crappy from the outside - technically solid) I want this kind of patina. I already did rust, real and artificial rust coatings. But a patina that happens to withstand power washing, soap and a electric powered brush. Amazing.
Edit:
Why the fuck did he cut the axle shaft? It was completely in oil and preserved. One of the few useable things!!!
The date code on tires made after 2000 are a 4 digit code. Any tire made before 2000 only have 3 digits. 1st 2 are the week, last 1 is the year. Good luck!
Now for your next video...restore the Mazda.

have looked for a foundry / smelter in your area? I think you are going to have issues trying to melt this down in your back yard.
OMG A car shield ad lol.
Are you still thinking of restoring the jack like you were saying in the last video?
Yes, I have it and still have that plan. It'll be a bonus video, not a Friday release. Not sure when though.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Restore this car it would be cool and it has a a some story with it
The rotary moters are very build able and quick so I would keep the moter and strip it and clean it and refresh it to sell it
Can you show us the VIN?
