The car looks to be in great shape and the wheels also look very nice on the car! Usually with fresh fuel and a clean and properly working fuel system, these cars will come right back to life. You will run into maintenance items and small repairs that need addressed, but once you're finished, the car will give many years of reliable service!

Lots of stuff to go over. A thread in the 2nd Gen Builds section or general discussion section would be a more appropriate place to answer those questions. This is just an intros section. We can get more in depth there.

Thus far though, you're doing all of the right things to get the car back on he road. To be brief, remember to use a Mazda thermostat. The Koyo radiator is a good choice and they do make direct replacement aluminum radiators for the FC.

I did find your thread in the new member tech section and answered some questions there. Very good idea to post in there as well!
