Looks like it says "Anniversary X" something. Looks like a fun bit of work ahead of you! Gotta love a nice clean SA though. Got any big plans? Restoring it to show room stock? Or sine fun go faster bits?

Yoik! "S" budget steering wheel! Intentional or came with the car? (meaning installed by prev owner) 10AEs came with the 4-spoker of course. Looks like a solid car, and a Special too boot! Congrats and good luck. Another SA joins the Fold. More pix and give us some Back Story on how you got it and what are your plans?

Hmmm, should clean up nice.
Whats that chrome looking *** sticking out on the driver side fender? An alarm
switch maybe?
Also in the close up of the emblem on the same fender shows a small protuberance right
after the rx7 emblem. Looks like a rivet filling a hole maybe. Interesting.
Keep us posted on the progress.

The Little Bump after the logo is an LED that lit up when the alarm was turned on, which was turned on by the little silver bumb that's next to the logo. You would have to lift a little rotating door that shows a key hole, etc. (Can only see it from a distance on the other photos.)

So Far, this is the progress pictures. The big black blob looking thing is the gas tank, the metal wheel looking thing is where the gas tank should be because i had to take it out to drain it. and the engine changes is just a new distributor cap with new wires, spray painted radiator, no more battery (I think 20 year old batteries don't hold up... that's just me :P) but here you got, this is about a month or so into the repair, the interior and looks (Paint, mold, etc.) has not been changed yet.
