How does my Rx-7 look?

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forums, I'm brand new to this site
but I thought i'd post some pictures of my car to see what you guys think.. please I encourage you to give me some tips on what I can do to it,
Story...
It is a 1982 First Generation RX-7
It has had 2 previous owners, the first guy had it for 9 months before he sold it, then my dads buddy had it for the rest of it's life until I got a hold of it.
It hadn't moved big time for about 10 years, just every month around the block to keep the fluids moving. He painted it again, put in a new clutch, new stereo, new amp under the seat, six new speakers and a six cd changer.
Engine runs great except sometimes my signal light flashers goes, it works when it wants to work, I have looked in my manuals for the position of the flasher fuse, but am totally unsuccessful.
anyways here are some pictures

Welcome to the Club!

Love that color and hope to learn the color code. Would love to see more pictures of it clean and out in the sunshine with beautiful surroundings. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting.

I swear the calgary owners keep popping up! Good to see another 1st gen in calgary.

Flasher meaning indicator? Should be in the fuse panel under the dash no?

In case you dont have a copy of the Factory Service Manual (FSM), it is availble in my sig. In case you dont have enough posts to access it the link is

Sorry boys, no idea what the color code is, wish I could help you guys out, and yeah flasher or indicator, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, must be a shortage in the wires, anyone else have this problem? or has had it in the past?
