who says rotaries go bad if they sit. Jeez, I can't believe you got that going. Have fun with all the work it looks like the car needs.

Good ol hotwiring. Something about it makes me smile but shiver at the same time.

Didnt look like the steering lock took much effort to "remove" haha.

Oh, ya. That would be better taking the engine and rebuilding it and putting in your other car than restoring that rust pit

I've seen some rusty 1st gens before, even to the point a friend of mine sat in one and the seat went through the floorpan and he landed on the ground. Now that was funny to watch and the look on his face was priceless. But I have never seen rust clear through the body where you have it.

The true sign of a 1st gen owner, or any rotary fan for that matter, is how many you can line up in a pic and have the tittles in hand.
