Restoration project for a neglected FD

Hello all, I picked up this 93 FD roller quite cheap. It is fairly complete minus a few bits here and there, I did however save it from a swap. It has 80k on it and my plan is to just restore it to close to stock condition minus the reliability mods im going to do right off the bat.

I got into Rotaries when I got my RX8, and ever since I been eat, sleeping and dreaming Rotaries. Ive had that car for 2 years and I still have it but its currently up for sale to fund this project.

My friend is going to be helping me with the build, he has done all rotary powered cars engine removal and installs which helps. Im not having him come over however until I get most of the parts for the project. So if you all are kind enough help me identify some missing parts.

I want to get a battery in there and theres no negative cable, whats the gauge of the stock cable and where on the shock tower would you connect it? I attached a pic. With the other pics is to show what else I need. This is what I know so far.

Other than longblock this is what I need:
I dont see a front swaybar?
Full exhaust
driveshaft
radiator+fans
intake
intercooler
plastic undercovers
the frame crossbar that sits behind radiator, Idk where I can source this though
Im not sure where the PPF is and what it looks like but I keep hearing it.

BTW if any of you have some of these parts LMK or know a good place to source them.

Theres like a screen and the radiator sits ontop of that? Crossbar missing in this pic, and sway bar is suppose to be in here as well?

Which hole is for battery ground? and whats the rest for?

Just extra pic haha

Hey mods can you move this to New Member Rx7 Technical forums? I don't think this is going to be a build thread. Thanks.
