The buy and sell forum, plus the forums that are state specific will definitely be a good place to start looking for parts, as well as meeting other people with the same interest

Sounds like you got a good starter car. Interior is easier than having to get major motor work done. Congrats on your buy

Definitely want to get an FC! I use to think the FD's were the most beautiful but now that I look at them more my heart is definitely warming up to the FC's. Great purchase, look forward to seeing your build. Are there a lot of 2nd gen RX-7s in Florida? Looking to buy one but hard to find one w/o rust in Wisconsin and my parents own a place in Fort Meyers.
