went to auto zone and the starter works, just not to great, we are gonna put it back in and see if we can turn over the engine. we are also gonna work on some rust in the front floor and primer interior. i really wanna get the engine running so i can drive this thing. we are also gonna check the apex seals to see if they build up compression. i cant wait to get this thing on the road.

it wont let me edit the links. srry bout that, but the pics are the same as the ones below. but udpdate time. worked mostly on interior today, got scraps and small things out so we can really start to prime, one we get it all primed up then we will go pick the color of paint to paint the interior. most likely gray but who knows. we will put the starter back in sometime this week and work on that but we figured out that either when the person before us had it repainted or the alarm was installed, they messed up alot of wiring so we are havin some trouble with that but hopefully will get it all workd out. if anybody lives round the lancaster area of pennyslvania and wants to help out with the engine feel free to pm. im still learnin bout rotaries and still need some help. thanks.

update: hopefully we will start primering the interior today and get most of it done, we will prob have 2 coats of primer and if we paint the interior gray, we will prob have 2 coats of that, but the parts we have primered right now looks sweet. cant wait for the final product.

Hello there Nice find, good luck with the car. You know that car looks like a car that used to be in the area near me, I used to see it all the time then it just dissapeared.

that's HTML, forums use BBC so hitting"enter" twice every time you paste a link works fine.

it mightve been, idk, the guy bought it in 2000 then had it from then til now and it was sitting for the most part when he had, but now it's being taken car of and has a home. i just want it to run, but for the update. primered most of interior back and painted some rust stuff on the front floorboards but i will most likely just get some metal and put that over them or something, but its lookin good. before and after pics maybe sunday night.
