No problem! =]

yeah that sounds good. google for stuff in you area thats what i did with my S13

good news!!
i poured ATF in the motor a little while back and i turned the motor over by hand today and it came out the spark plug holes RED and no chunks, so when the car was parked its compression was good.i plan on putting in new battery cables in tomorrow and fixing valance and passenger fender.

:patriot: I'd like thank everybody for the help and advice to my son I've been working on cars all my life but this is the fist rotory i've delt with mostly work on 60's and 70's
muscle cars my fist one was a 1966 old's 442 had to sell it to get custudy of my son now its gotten posable to start working on project cars again so he wanted
an rx7 like his cusin and grandfather this one is what we found he fell in love with it at fist sight so we suprized him with it on x-mas he will need lots of advice I can help with the wrench turning but he's doing most the work thank you guy's

well i crawled all over it and amazingly theres no rust
and that makes me and my dad think its been turned over once, dont know if the odomiter works, but that just from the exterior, the interior looks like it been used as a garbage dump
me and my dad think that for being a 79 112,000 miles is not to bad. what do u guys think?

Thats so nice you did not find rust good luck my man post pix of the porses.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and we got the electrical working(7 cuts in 1 battey cable,dont know why) fixed the fender(still needs mud), and valance(minnor repairs still needed) tried to start (battery is dead), head light motors no quesstion WORK, so do the head lights
but any ways YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tomorrow will sart removing the gas tank to clean it out then its on to trying to
start her up and see what really needs to be done it was parked and left for a
reason we just don't know why we got it after it was sold as a parts car

Thanks for the update guys. You definitely have some work ahead of you guys. If you haven't already, visit Blackdragonauto.com, they will have probably everything you need albeit some will be uber expensive. I'm really interested to see how this turns out

update
 

i took out the gas tank and cleaned it, put it back in and put some gas in tried to start it but the igniton is screwed have to use a screw driver(tumblers were removed before i got it) it striped when i tried and now it just spins i have an igniton out of an 81' but it needs a key but i will b posting pics very often now (1-2 times a week) still open for advice.
i am looking for an entire exhaut (from the thermal reactor to the muffler).
i now have to fix the winsheild to some SOB/:asshole: tossed a rock and chipped it
entire rear drivers side light are a no-go.
fuel pump works,probly need new spark plugs

It looks like you have some work ahead but I think it was a good deal at that price. If you can get that motor running without a rebuild then you will have definitely made a steal! Also learning and working with your dad on the car will bring with it a lot of good times and a lifetime of memories for you. Good luck with it!

You may want to check out the for sale/want to buy sections on the site. Also it looks like you knew about the ATF treatment so maybe you have searched through some of the threads. There is a ton of info here, including the FAQ for new members, where to download your FSM, how to check for compression on a rotary, great sources for oem and performance parts, common mods, etc.,etc.

Are you interested in getting a full replacement exhaust or were you guys looking for an aftermarket performance system? Deinitely browse the Classified section and don't be afraid to post up something you're looking for in there, someone is bound to have it. I look forward to these updates and see the progress

which ever route is cheaper... for now at least
im a little tight on funds

heres sum new pics. my dad realy need to get another RX-7 she is starting to look lonely

come along very well...beside the ignition what parts are you looking for for your SA

matching door panels, seats, carpet, dash but i have an 81' that will fit, exhaust(from the thermal reactor to the rear bumper) the place i got it from fired the machanic because he was stealing parts and he cut out everything from the engine back. im lucky he got fired when he did or i wouldnt have an oil cooler or radiator.

To continue what I was saying in the registry thread. UH The vehicle was stolen at some point? It looks like the dent puller treatment.

actually i think the FC was the least desirable :crackup:

4/78!!! Another early SA will be ressurected

Well hey if you need to fix that ignition later. Buy a switch for the fuel pump to cut it off and keep the switch hidden. El Cheapo security quick fix. Since yours can be started with a flat head.

no the car wasnt stolen it was owned by a police officer still has the sticker from
his law enforcement club talked to the woman we got it from his kid lost the keys
so they poped the tumblers to get it home but found out the hole ignition switch is shot platic peice in the back of it is snaped so it just turns wont engage the starter after we change that I will be installing an electrical kill switch plus an alarm so even if they by pass the alarm no electricity car no go

oh and firebird thats the reason we are trying to keep it as stock as posible and will be replaceing anything we have had to use from later 7's as we find them
just because this car is part of history and has been driven hard and not taken care of now she needs a good life

Right on. I'm sure someone will have a thermal reactor exhaust system left over from a performance system swap
