My First FC

Hey guys, i just picked this up last week, finally got it cleaned up and some pictures taken ready to show it off!
I bought this from the original owner!! an older lady bought it brand new back in 91!
I picked it up for 2300, had to put a new water pump on it the first weekend i had it, but no big deal it was a great learning opportunity for me, by the way this is my first ever rx7, a few friends of mine have had them since i was in highschool so i've gotten to know a little bit about them and i have always loved the 2nd gens!

Now, the pics:











virtually the only imperfection on the exterior:



The interior is also super clean! The only imperfection on the interior is a small rip on the drivers seat










The car only has 97k original miles on it, been taken very good care of.

It's not a Turbo II but i have plans to put a Turbo II motor swap in it and leave it virtually bone stock on the exterior, stock hood and put a front mount, it'll be a sleek sleeper!

well, thanks for looking!

I'd keep it NA if I were you.

Leaving it stock, in a few years it will be worth a lot more I think unmolested.

I'd get a crappy T2 for your first turbo.

Nice n' clean.
Other than some suspension upgrades I'd also say leave it stock and enjoy the car for what it is.
I have a white 91 FC NA in similar condition.
