Edmonton rotary repair shops??

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a reputable rotary shop here in Edmonton. I tried Abbey Road but it sounds like they are shut down unfortunately (I have heard good things about them).

Thanks for the input. Considering buying my first RX7, I've wanted one since I was a kid and am now getting serious about it. Found a fixer upper I might pick up.

no gas

right now the motor seems to turn over but doesn't seem to be getting any gas.
EGI motor btw. So not sure where that can lead to. Hoping its not a major expense to get her going.

1985

It's a 1985 gsl-se. Going to pick it up on Wed. Just need to find a reputable mechanic to get her towed to.

when it comes to figuring out a problem like this it can get stupid expensive
to fix, when you pay someone else to do it.
not sure if he is still open or not but Carl Modine had a shop just north east of
weber motors (cant remember the name of his shop)
he was a bit of a donkey but he used to work quite cheap as long as
you didnt ask for anything that wasnt "stock"
i tried searching to find his business name but found nothing so he might be gone.

thanks guys

I'll maybe try screwing around with it myself and see if I can get it figured out...they look pretty simple. I'm sure the girlfriend won't mind giving up her parking spot in the garage for an old project car...

Does anyone know someone that builds garages....lol.

I was going to say that also but conroy is so busy all the time if you want it done
fast it might not happen.
