Well, I finally got her all cleaned up and running nicely. I picked it up for $50 from the previous owner, whom got a new car and just parked the 7 out behind his house. There it sat for 3 1/2 years, and he decided to pull it out to the road (literally) and sell it. It sat there with a $250 sign in it for months, and im like, ill take it off your hands, but all i got is a fifty. Hes like take it. So I aired up the tires and put a few gallons of gas in, and a new battery. After a large amount of cranking and fiddling I got it to fire up, and i limped it home without brakes (rusted out lines, rapid downshifting was required) No I got all the fluids changed, a minor tune up, new filters and brake lines and it runs and drives beautifully. Heres the pics, what do you think? Thanks, Jeff B.

Actually im not sure yet. Ill prolly just run it as it is for awhile and make sure the motor and tranny are sound and theres no surprizes. Themn Ill prolly put a few mods in her. I was considering a nice black paint job over it, because you cant really tell in the pics but the sun has gotten to the red paint somethin awful in places. Black with grey interior would look decent i believe. Im not sure about rotories all that much, but for 156K this one seems to run out real nice and powerful. After I cleaned the carb up it even idled smooth.
