Wink New Owner of a an FB

Just recently bought a 1985 Mazda RX7 [FB]
I purchased this vehicle knowing that it was going to be a project car and not a daily.
I can't wait to start restoring this Japanese Classic. I am open to any and all suggestions.
Much Obliged,
Frostee

Welcome!
You should share some pictures of your new car. There's a ton of information, and lots of helpful people, so do some searching and ask away if you still can't find your answer.

Welcome to the forum! Would love to see pictures of the car! Do you know any of the car's history? Are you planning a full restoration?

Yes, Pics will be coming up hopefully by this weekend. I do know some of the vehicles history. I have the documents to support that it has 89,xxx Original Miles. Unfortunately it has been sitting for roughly 20 years. I do plan to fully restore/rebuild. At the moment my first task was to replace the Turn Signal/ Wiper W/ Cruise Control Combination Switches. The head light switch was broken and stuck in the running lights potion. I removed all pieces and found out a piece was broken and the Switch was basically no good. Sad part of the story when I had all the parts laid out my grandfather knocked over one of the many piles of stuff in the garage and it fell onto my Steering Column Cover/Surround and broke to pieces. I am now finding out the hard way that this seems to be one of the Most Rare and Hard to find parts with a 1984-85 FB :'-( I won't let this hold me back I will continue to move forward on this restore and get this Legend back on the road

Yeah, I am hoping to upload more pics by this weekend. I am still getting use to the site and how it works. I have an IG where I've been posting my "Rustee 2 Frostee" Restore/Rebuild. Once I figure out how I will also convert everything here.

Will definitely look forward to seeing pictures! I use imgur and upload my pictures there and copy and paste the BBCode into the reply box and when you post your message, the pictures appear.
