TN Volvo 240 for an '88 FC

Hey guys, whats up? Have been on here for a little while and finally got my chance to get my first FC. A friend of mine had this lying around gathering dirt and rust, so i offered an old volvo for an even trade, and he took it.

anyway, i don't know too much about the rotary's but how do you think i did?

it doesn't run, yet, but to my knowledge everything should work, it needs a little body work, and for some reason its not getting any fire,

but other then that, i think i did ok? let me know what you think, heh and either i made a decent trade, or got myself ripped off.

so i lost this.

for this in return,

Wow... definitely came out on top on that deal. Make sure you read the FAQs. Something that might help you would be aaroncake's write up on taking an improperly stored RX7 out of storage. Not saying it was improperly stored, but if it's been sitting for a while it might take a little effort to get er' banging again.

Writeup here.

I'd say you did good. There is a lot of great information here, and I'm sure you will be able to figure out your lack of fire problem.

man im the same way, i'm a big fan of the volvos, but the one i traded was the 1986 240 DL automatic stock 4 banger... eventually im looking to get the B230, and ive got another project lol a Volvo 780 which i am attempting to shove an LS1 in.
