New '91 RHD FC owner and member!

Hello everyone! Super new to all of this, but I've been in love with rx-7s and the rotary engine since I learned of its existence. I've recently acquired my very first FC3S, and I am totally in love!! It is a Japan import. Turbo II. I was a little nervous to spend what I did on it, because she needs a LOT of work, but I suppose that is the best part, as it is a project car after all, and totally worth it!! So far I have replaced the shifter and bushings, and am currently restoring the Nardi steering wheel that it came with. My next step will be the suspension, as it is pretty shot. The engine seems to be in pretty great shape! She runs and drives well, but does have a cold start issue that I have yet to figure out. Posting pictures now. Cheers!

Welcome to the forum!! The car appears to have a lot of potential and will no doubt be incredible once you are finished!

Thank you for the warm welcomes! I am beyond ecstatic to begin this journey! All of you here seem to be a pretty amazing support system, and I am excited to be a part of it! And, yes, racex7, I am definitely in need of a gauge surround, as mine is literally falling off/apart haha, and would love to know what other parts you have available! Thank you so much!

I’ll take a look around for you, I moved in July so I’ve come across a few things unpacking and sorting out.

Welcome! She may be a project, but I'll be darned if she doesn't already have an exceptional exterior! My GF is the same way I'm looking forward to seeing the progress!
