My 1st Gen's
Hey guys, I've been posting up recent pictures of my SA so I thought I'd post up some of my FB and my SA. The FB has been pretty lonely, just sitting in the backyard waiting for her motor to be rebuilt. So I thought I would show her some love today. Enjoy!

Yeah it needs some body work and a new paint job. I'm not sure if I'll stick with the spark yellow or go a different color. It just needs some other things first. After that I'll be focusing entirely on getting the FB up and running again.
both cars look really good! i'm a fan of the Spark Yellow SA's and agree that when funds are available, paint that car and make her shine!! what are your plans for the FB's engine?

ourxseven, the air dam was mounted using the existing nuts and bolts that mount the fenders to the front valance. It wasn't too hard but one side gave me a bigger fit than the other. I was originally planning to do a nice Bridgeport Turbo 12A, then I was tinkering with the idea of building my own 12A 3 Rotor but now I've decided to just keep it simple since it will be my first Rotary rebuild. It will get either a nice streetport or Jeff20B's "74 Spec" port. Not sure which yet, gotta talk to Jeff about it. It'll be kept pretty simple. S1/S2 shorty rad and oil cooler, GSL rear end, SA intake port matched, Sterling carb, Direct Fire ignition, full polyeurathane bushings. It already has Eibach springs on it. Eventually I will put on Tokico Blue shocks all the way around and front and rear sway bars. I want to try and get her on the road soon but I don't want to cut corners either. Trying to keep the budget semi low since I still need to buy the rebuild kit and what not. What do you guys think about getting the Atkins Rotor kit, 12A gasket kit, and new rotor bearings? Would this be okay or would the master rebuild kit be better? Sorry for the gigantic post, I'm horrible at paragraphs LOL
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'll have the RB Road Race exhaust for her as well. Do you guys think I'll need a bigger fuel pump and an FPR?

Hahaha yeah. The SA wheels vibrated horribly and the tires are really dry rotted so I switched them. I'm going to try and find a decent set of wheels and tires for the FB before she's back on the road
