Proud owner of a 2nd gen...

Like it says, I just picked up a 2nd Gen roller. Interior is in decent shape, as is the body and paint. A few rust spots that will have to be addressed. I am also going to be re painting the car so thats no biggie.

this is a project car, I have a DD already.

I have had and built a few cars, A turbo spec-v, a turbo mustang, and now i am starting on this. I dont know much about the rotary's, but, I Look forward to learning. I want this to be "streetable" but still make 500+hp, maybe 650 at most, since things get hairy at that point on the street.

Anyways, just thought I would introduce my self.

-Kurt
