picked up another rx7, 1980 this time

yea i got another one. Thought it would be a parts car but its actually pretty nice and i might part out the 79 instead or let a friend have it. The 80 is grey, its interior is perfect. The paint is pretty good but its got some rust. been sitting since 1989, the guy said it overheated once, he parked it for the winter in his garage and thought hed get to it in a few years but never did. It doesnt run but I can turn the motor, so just some carbon build up hopefully.

I'd keep which ever one has the sunroof!! Sitting since 89? man, the seals in the rotor-motor have got to looooong gone an dried up Its spinning 'cause there is nothing inside to hold compression (?) Swap all the best stuff to the best car - even the 79 motor to the 80 if its OK. bolt right in. 80 has electronic ignition and alternator w/reg built in. Better version of front disc brakes, too. 'Luck-
