Looks nice! I got mine just like that-but I'm continuing it. Do not worry, I will have a rotary RX-7.

theres 3 more in the driveway and garage, lol.

anybody know anything about the wheels?
auto bahn?
i think the only reason they are on the car is that the lug bolts have a lock on them and there is no key, otherwise i imagine someone would have nabbed them.
can i get a key or should i just get one of those tools that break the lock?

nice condition, more red than pink on the interior!

if the wheels are Weds like the centercap suggest i bet someone would pay a little bank for them. they look nice either way.

They are Weds wheels. Someone will pay some damn good money for them.

And that is one of the best saves I've seen. Congrats on the car, it looks like a prime candidate for a great rotary engine.

first off, i hate locking lug nuts. secondly, i very much like those wheels and the car that you picked up. how hard is it to spin the cap there? is it very loose or do you have to kind of struggle to get it to spin? you may want to call a few tire shops in your area and see how they would remove it.
