Project resurection

the only issues ive had are when i pull the gas cap lever it wont open, any help, websites with the mechanicals to it?

the only other thing i can find is a broken arm rest that connects to the sport suspension controls, anyone have any extra for sale or know a site to pick one up?
thanks

other then that ALL of the electricals air everything works, cant wait to get this project underway, rebuilding and relaying everything, my first FC

wow, great find for $600; what's the mileage on that motor?

are those wires going to the strut tower for the "adjustable sport suspension" thing?

the guy i bought it from didnt want to touch the engine cause he doesnt work on rotaries, so im gonna take the engine apart tommorow and see whats up with it.
the engine itself has around 190k miles on it so itll need a rebuild.

and for what im gonna do to it, im tearing all the old carpet out, turning it into a black interior, headliner etc. im repainting it the original color, rebuilding or putting a new engine into it, new suspension, new exhaust, basically totally overhauling the car.

it took forever to actually find a 7 that could actually be worked on.

the wiring for the suspension works i believe just the casing is broken.
everything on the car electrical works, even the hatch light , i was amazed it all came together.

Does it have oil in it? If it does more than likely it's not locked up, don't take it apart without troubleshooting first.

great looking car, and the engine bay is very clean I love it. IMO I would keep the red interior, I think it looks fabulous with the gray exterior.
