PA New 1st Gen RX-7 Owner (Pennsylvania)

Hello, my name's Ethan and I recently inherited my first 1981 RX-7 (and car for that matter). It used to be my older brother's, but he unfortunately passed away this month. I believe he was a member of this forum, but I'm not sure what his screen name was or how active he was around here. I'll add a picture of my 7 tomorrow when there's sunlight. It needs some work such as fixing rust, a replacement strut, new tires, etc. but I'm hoping to make this car everything he could've wanted it to be.

I don't know a whole lot about cars yet to be honest, but I plan on changing that.

A little bit about myself: lead guitarist/vocalist in a punk band, competitive slalom kayaker, I mess around in Photoshop a lot making graphics and editing photos, I've studied landscaping/horticulture, I'm a gamer but don't play much anymore, and I love to create all sorts of stuff and fix whatever I can get my hands on.

I'm also no stranger to vBulletin forums as I used to be a staff member on one for a while.

Good to know you Ethan. I think it's awesome that you're taking it upon yourself to see through your late brother's project RX-7. I have an older brother, and I would do the same for him. What area of Pennsylvania are you from? I ask because I'm from Bucks County.

I live in Centre County, about 10 miles out from State College.

I'm fairly positive I've seen your car before, probably before you owned it.
