I would relocate the battery to one of your storage bins, then have your brakets powder coated

No thread started yet.

I would just look around for hoses that look cracked and old. There will be a few that need replacing. Go to teh autozone and buy 6 feet of vaccum line. Cut them to length AND REPLACE YOUR STOCK HOSES ONE AT A TIME! You dont want to forget which hoses went where. Look at your coolant hoses, make sure your thermostat is in good working shape. Its a common misconception that Rx7s preform better with out a thermostat. NOT TRUE.

Once you're done checking the hoses start pulling off brackets, sanding them, and painting them with high temp.

Once thats done, strip out your interior, gut your cats, and your on your way to a very clean 7
