IL First Rotary, First Manual

Hello I am Brian, I live in Chicago, IL and this is the first manual/rotary car I have owned. So far I am enjoying the car and am looking forward to working on it and turning it into something nice.

I picked up the car today after looking at it yesterday, its in good shape, a little rust spots here and there (not bad), under body is in good shape. The sun has faded the exterior paint, but that doesn't bother me. Overall, I can't wait to start fixing it up.


Look forward to everyone's feedback, input, and help as I continue learning and fixing my first rotary.

Here it is:

What are your ideas for the future with your car? New paint? Engine mods?

I'll probably begin the process of lowering it and getting wheels. Over winter, I might try to get it repainted, but I don't know what paint color I want yet. Lastly would be engine mods.

I agree, I also have a car that's auto and I tend to feel for a third pedal or wiggle the shifter as if it was manual and its like OOPS wrong car.
