Long time poseur, first day as a member

Of the rx7 club.

I've been looking at 3rd gens for about 2 years, seeking one for about a year, and the owner of 1 for a day.

I picked up a 1993 MB, Base last night in Calgary.

Had it inspected, leaks a bit of oil from the back of the motor and the rear dif, a rear control arm and the rear lateral links are loose, and the guages don't work quite right, and it needs a wheel alignment pretty bad.

Have to go somewhere else to get a compression test done though, but the motor runs true and i'll have it rebuilt over the winter anyway.

The prevous owner has owned it for 10 years, it's never stranded him, it's never broken down. He had the intake done, alumimum AST, downpipe and exhaust, and a installed a turbo timer over the last 10 years.

The interior is perfect, save for the guages, and the outside passenger door lock cover is loose.

It was pretty dirty, so it needs a wash, and alot of detailing and rock chip repair on the front clip.

I'll post some pics as soon as i get a some good detailing tools and give it a some claybar, touchup, polish, sealant and wax.
