my first FB

so two weeks ago i picked up this running and driving 1981 RX7. it has 170 000km. a guy contacted me and asked if i was interested in the car as i have an fc. he wanted $800 cash or trade for a small tool box, just so happened that a i had one that i paid $200 for haha sure enough thats what he wanted and we made the swap. it hadnt ran in a few years so i put some freah premix in the tank with idemitsu. the tank looked good. also put some oil in each housing and turned it over by hand. threw a battery on and she fired right up. needs a carb tune because i need the choke pulled out a bit but nothing major. my hopes and dreams is to make it a streetable replica scca race car with a widebody kit. but first my fc needs to finish. it also has some minor body damage. front and rear bumpers are done for and the front left fender needs to be replaced.
