Exclamation Wont start. need help

Ok so i bought a 88 rx7 turbo 2 from my friend for real cheap. its been sitting for a while and it has some problems. Ok first of all the clutch pedal does not have any pressure or resistance. it will either be all the way at the ground and the only way to get it up it to reach and pull it up. it also doesn't seem like there is any power getting to the ignitoin because when you turn the key nothing happens at all. and i dont know if that has something to do with the clutch that i have to get fixed before i can start it or what. but nothing at all happens when u turn the key. it might be just a wireing problem or the starter or whatever but idk.PLEASE HELP.

Some friend you got there. Lets start with the clutch problem. First you eed to bleed that just the same as bleeding brakes, two people required unless you have a one man bleeder. If it wont bleed your master or slave is shot. We can cross that bridge if we come to it. When you turn the key to the on position what lights come on? Do the headlights work? If so leave them on and turn the key. Do they stay on? Do you have a multimeter? When you try to start it is the clutch pushed in? How long did the car sit for? attempt to manually turn the engine over. It should be a 19mm socket on the main pulley. It should turn over easily with a 1/2" drive socket wrench.

Try to turn the engine over it moves do the list of things I mentioned to do with the key on and answer those questions in a private message. We will go from there.
