1st swap = success

After a year of sitting in the garage with a burnt out motor,

she has waken from her beuty sleep, and damn she got hot,
cleaned the engine bay got all the access nonsense out of there as well,
cleared up tons of space

this actually was the first engine swap i had done on a car-
i went into it knowing nothing about rotary engines and how they work to knowing a hell of alot more, enough to start my first project and build this car up to someting good

ill post some pictures here withen a day

nice, always good to bring a car back from the dead instead of sending it off to the wreckers

congrats!

I remember my first swap. Never pulled a motor before. After everything was done...I sat back with a beer and a huge *** grin. Thought to myself...Damn, I did it. Congrats, post some pics!

I had done a few motor swaps in the past with my Dad, but when I did my RX-7, it was my first real swap I did the work on. I remember before it was "drivable" just getting in and starting it just because I could, lol.
