FL New to me white 86 FC

Wow I typed out a nice first post and went to preview and was logged out
I wont be discouraged!

Hi! I'm vince, I have a white 1986 Rx7 N/a. Not sure on the trim but it's loaded with stuff like a rusted out power sunroof, Ac <UNcold>, sticky power windows AND mirrors, and some kind of electronic suspension gizmo. I want to replace all the bushings, and suspension bits. The goal is a fun street car that will see regular autoX.

I have been in love with the sounds and looks of these cars for a long time, and now I finally have one and the means to support it . It needs plenty work to get it where I want it but there is lots of good inspiration around here. <I have been lurking for a while>

Welcome, Vince!

I'm sure with some pics and some details, the 2nd gen guys could tell you the model. Let us know if you have any questions.

I love FCs, I don't even know why but I seem to like them more than FDs. I just don't like black trim, when (hopefully) I get one I will be painting it body colour. White is the best color though IMO.

Thanks guys. The car is actually being neglected right now sitting there not being driven. While I spend more time on here then working on it. Guess everyone has plans for their cars, just have to actually put those plans into action.
