Barn find RX-7 owner

Hello, I'm brand new to here and wanted to see if I could get some help looking for a few parts and figuring out how a couple things on my rx7 go togethor. I found a guy selling a rx7 out of his garage/ barn that has been drained of all fluids except oil and couldn't resist the new project. Car has absolutely no rust

Welcome to the club! Looks like quite the project but it sounds like you've done this before and you know what you're doing. How is under the hood? Very stock? As far as finding small, meticulous parts I'd recommend using searchtemptest.com and search "RX7 FD" and other related terms under auto parts. Best of luck to ya!

Thank you! Just got some BBS wheels mounted and am making diagrams of the vacuum line rats nest before I start putting some oil in the housings to try and coat the walls. Gonna see if I can get it to start and my fingers are crossed

These wheels will barely fit when the car is lowered but the oem suspension is taller than I thought.
