88 FC Vert - Virginia

Hey I just impulse bought an FC because I always wanted a rotary when I was younger. I was entranced watching videos of how the engine worked, but it was the sound of the 787B that truly hooked me.
I've been dailying my grandmother's 05 Camry for too long and I just snapped the other weekend and picked up this car. Picture of Vert
In some ways it is in great condition and other ways not so much. But it runs well and all of the electronics work. Im happy that it is all original and still has the trim on the sides. It will need new seats and I'd like a top that is in better condition... this one leaks a bit and I'm afraid to put it up or down.

I live between Richmond and Fredericksburg, if anyone wants to meet up.

Oh, and my name is Erik.

The car has a service history until about 96. At that point it was only doing 1k miles a year and had 80ish miles on it. The last owner really neglected it and I ended up getting it from someone who worked at a shop that redid the vacuum lines and just got it into running condition again.
I think I'm just going to use it as a fun cruiser. I really need to clean it up, it's pretty dirty inside.
The only thing I really want to do at the moment that isn't just a restoration type thing is put in a Limited Slip diff from another FC. I know verts only came with open diffs but I was hoping that it would be pretty straight forward, though I kind of tried searching around to see if anyone had done that but I didn't really see much about it.
