First Rx7, First Rotary, 2nd Mazda
 
Hey all,

Just picked up a 85k 87 Turbo II in Sunburst Red last weekend. Has sat in a garage untouched for the last 15+ years.

Body and paint is mint, but the engine needs a rebuild.

Looking forward to learning more about the platform and the right way forward getting this back on the road with some slight upgrades.

Manassas Va area, other car is a Turbo NB 2001 Miata.

Here are a few shots pulling the car from its resting location for the last 18 years. Last on road in 2000. Only 2 previous owners.

Turbo to manifold gasket blew out which led to this car sitting for so long.
