Hey guys, so I may have hit a street light and done some very minor frame damage to my GTU. I swear I was not trying to drift, in fact I had been having tranny troubles for a bit, and this time it bit hard. I tried to rev match for a turn, and I guess I hit the synchro's, so I tried again, and forgot to rev match it in, and well, bald tires in the rain, and revs jumping up caused me to slide and hit the street light. Either way, I've bought a 1988 GXL, and am now going to do an engine swap, any help would be awesome, as I'm still somewhat new to rotaries. Sorry to anybody's feelings I hurt with that story, haha, accidents happen though, just shows I shouldn't drive while tired when I have bald tires and it's raining.

So, the GXL Shell has no interior pretty much, it has a driver's seat, and rear seats, but no dashboard, no carpeting (I was planning to remove all that anyway). It comes with a tranny, and apparently the previous owner said this one has an LSD, so I'm not sure which tranny to use, even though mine had some troubles, but this one has been sitting for a while, even though it still moves just fine, just needs a clean up. I've gotten the basic rotary resurrection advice, but I'm not exactly sure how to tackle it all. Any advice at all would be helpful, thanks a lot guys!

Also I guess I should mention, I do plan to start building it during the swap/once this swap is done. but advice on which direction to take would be nice (No turbo though. I'm a naturally aspirated kinda person.)

Not continuing with the swap, so much indecisiveness and I'm sorry hahaha, I don't know how to delete this thread either
