PA New to rotaries, so why not introduce myself?

Hey all, as the title states I'm new to rotaries. I've been doing some research and trying to read/soak up knowledge as much as possible. I recently purchased a 93 FD (a dream car of mine) that will need a little TLC, so I was prepping before I brought it home. I've always been into cars and have a nice daily as is but this will be a project/weekend car. I have lots of ideas for this car! I hear they can be headaches but hopefully they're not too bad lol.

Read the stickies over and over again. Soak in some knowledge about pre and post purchase inspection as well as before and after storage maintenance and checks. Look up the most common issues for the FD and see if you have any that can be easily remedied. Get the motor solid. Maybe do a few reliability modifications, get some new rubber on her and make all of us FC owners jealous. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the Dorito life bud!

I love FC's too! Thanks for the advice. I have a lot to do on the car, starting with figuring out why the headlights aren't working.

I think the headlight motor may be going out on it.

I should've specified, there are aftermarket headlights on the car that aren't working. Thinking a bulb or possibly bad wiring on them. I haven't been able to check because of how quick it's been getting dark here, unfortunately.
