My first RX-7!
Here she is! I got her for a steal of a deal. She needs some work but nothing to major. Now I'm curious. It has an after market radiator. I looked under the car from the front and I see 3. Is one the original and one for the transmission?
You see three radiators?
You are probably seeing the water radiator, the stock oil cooler and the remains of the AC system.
Had the car once been an auto trans, the trans cooler would have been part of the original radiator, not a standalone core.
You need a fan shroud if you're keeping the mechanical fan.

I'm thinking of switing to an electrical fan because It's going to be drifting. I have it sitting at home because I'm going to do my suspension and brakes before I start driving it. I'll get a pitcure when I get home of what I see with the radiators. And from what I know the car has always been a 5-speed.
So my friend came over and we did alot of work to my car. We stripped out quite a bit of rear interior that we didn't want. Vacuumed, cleaned drainage holes that were clogged by all the dirt from it sitting so long.
Now I began to address. The "hole at the top of the fuel tank issue." Well I opened both of the flaps at the floor of the hatch. The one showing where the fuel comes into the tank well those lines are corroded extremely badly. What can I do to replace these?

Now I think where he was talking about the hole is actually where the fuel pump goes in. I noticed alot of fuel sitting around the seals of pump. Is there a gasket under there that I need to replace?

Yes there is a gasket between the sender unit and the tank.(big rubber oval looking thing with the holes for the screws)
I "may have" that fuel filler steel neck assembly,in my shed.It looks better than the Titanic encrusted one you got.

Before you go buying gaskets and whatnot, I'd get that thing up in the air and look it over very closely.
Judging by the rot you've already shown, it's very likely there's even worse yet to find.

Theres quite abit I've already seen. and if you're suggesting that there is rust on the frame. There is not. There are some areas with a little bit of body rust that I am going to take care of.
