Need body swap insights
I am going to be swaping pretty much everything out of my N/A into another N/A body without motor or trans. My body is pretty banged up and i found another rx7 with almost perfect exterior but crappy maroon interior that im going to swap out. I just wanted to know if there is anything i need to know about putting my engine and tranny in this other body like wiring or if some parts need certain application methods.

Before you pull apart your current car, TAKE PICTURES. You have no idea how much easier it is if you have something to look at while both cars are in pieces and the engine is in the air. Also, don't forget the resistor pack for the injectors. It is located under the airbox.
The only reason I mentione this is because I did a swap from an 87 base to an 88 GXL and that was overlooked on the process.

Thanks i never thought of taking pictures, i have a good digital camera. That should help out alot. The car that im transfering over to was a auto (mines a manual) it still has the shifter that i need to get rid of. Is there anything i need to do about that?

I looked in the search found some info and about my only problem would be the mounting brackets. Unless i could get some i think im just gonna have to wait and find a manual rx7 without motor and trans and near perfect exterior.
This is pretty depressing
