well, here are some pics finally, if the are huge, sorry, i don't know how to resize them yet. needs a bit of work. first up is the forward diff. mount, then the windshield and after that, the suspension as the rear is blown. after that the intereior will be reworked with black and maybe some custom aluminum pieces. it's coming up on 140k miles, and paid just 800 for it. well, here you go...

Needs alot of work, it will be a great project though. I've wanted one of those for years. Make sure to keep a fire extinguisher with you just incase the engine catches fire. Good find!

yeowch...she needs WORK. might as well get a better one with no motor, and sell that one in pieces - you'd make the amount you spent on it, at least.

don't bother dragging it if you don't swap in a V8. it'll be slow and break often if you leave a rotary in there.


i know this a little too well, i'm afraid.

I would definately gut the interior and throw a roll cage in if your going to drift, which is what I would do. Save a lot of headaches and money that way...

Drag racing doesn't do much for me...

Although keeping it rotary would be great, the old wankels are way to unreliable. Whatever you do, just make it fast. Good luck...

technically, the 13B(non turbo) is pretty reliable. it's when you start boosting it without countering for the whole overheating problem that the motor starts to die.
