New Owner of a 1984 RX-7 GSL-SE

Greetings! I just picked up this RX-7, and am going through the process to get it running after sitting for about 5-6 years. I am familiar with rotaries, having had a couple of RX-2s many years ago. This one has 46k original miles, and I got it from the original owner. I look forward to learning from you all and sharing any updates. Thanks!
Tim

The car was originally from Hawaii, but not long enough to have any of the salt air issues. It is remarkably clean underneath, and the paint will pop with a little effort. It was owned by a flight attendant who drove back and forth to/from the airport first in Honolulu and then Sea-Tac Intl. She and her husband had matching 1984 GSL-SEs, with his being charcoal and hers (now mine) being a beautiful red. This one was always stored in a garage, so it is in good condition. I will figure out how to post a few pictures once I get it all cleaned up! Thanks for the warm welcome!
