Apparently, your best bet would be to repeat 5th grade English class.

Seriously though, I wouldn't buy a car that didn't run, unless I had plenty of experience with that motor and chassis already.

If you don't mind the 'engine' elimination mod, it sounds promising. But the price of necessary parts piles up faster than you can say hookedonphonics.

Just like the previous posters suggested, stay away from that car.

If you had the skills and experience to bring that car back to a streetable example you wouldn't be asking these questions. Since you do not appear to have the skills and experience, I can predict a HUGE set of expenses and head aches that you may not be prepared to undertake.

Listen, you can not afford to have this car, to properly maintain it you will need the "3gs" your throwing around like a heavy coin purse every year to reinvest in the car. Rotaries are not a beginers engine either, if you are on a tight budget you need to know what you are doing and be able to do it yourself. you might be better off getting something else. I am on my third rebuild on different 7's, only 1 is mine, they take a lot of love, time, and money to get anything close to what you are portraying in your post. If you procede, best of luck, if it gets to be to much let me know. I could always use some more spare parts.

Dont turn him of to 7s, just dont get this one. Look for one that has a fresh rebuild and you shouldnt have to spend anything on it for a while aslong as you maintain it. GOOD luck man...and seriously avoid this car.
