NY My Free FC in Albany, New York

Hello and thank you for reading my post.
About a year ago i picked up my first RX7 (1991 FC N/A) from a garage that had been sitting for nearly 12 years. The owner just wanted it out of her garage so she could park her car. Before she knew it the car was on a tow truck and gone. She was happy i was happy so it worked out great. The car desperatly needed paint some minor engine and fuel pump tinkering. After changing all my fluids which took me and a buddy about 4 hours i went in and tried to start the car for giggles. To my suprise it fired right up. (With a little bit of cranking of course)
Heres a photo of the car back at my house. Excuse the bike pump it was all i had at the time lol.

Now after about a year of prep work for paint and about 2 months of some other small details i had it ready for the road. Heres a picture after the fact. The car isnt close to done yet.

Thank you all for reading my post

Paint

the picture does the cars paint no justice. The paint is a pearl white with blue and gold microflake. It is really sharp in the sun or under the street lights. The car was solid in a way but the headlight covers were pretty rough and same with around the sun roof. My hopes are to do a 20b or a 13bt swap at some point.
