new to rotarys but not new to old school goodness

my name is fred i am from new jersey and am an oldschool car kind of guy. been mainly a vw and toyota guy but jest recently aquired my 1st. rotary. i recently picked up a 1973 mazda rx3. it has a 13b motor with a street port. manual with 4 speed trans and posi rear. all black with black interior. really a cool car. never owned a rotory and i've been driving since 1984. i've owned mostly boricua styled corollas and i've been heavy into vw's for almost 15 years. my other current rides are my baby a 1963 beetle properly named "a bug's life" and my current daily driver a full custom 2002 vw jetta station wagon supercharged. been in central jersey all my life and am well known in the vw and toyota comunities. and am from yauco pr but born and raised in jersey. my passion is simple. old school cars!! hope to learn some stuff about rotarys from here and improve on what i believe is a strong platform for my 1st. rotary. here are a few pics let me know what you guys think thanks

Since I'm so "cosmetic", I'd say rims. Matching rims FTW.

Other than that, car looks fantastic for a 35 year old Mazda. I'm assuming the paint is relatively new?

Thumbs up

picked up my stud kit conversion kit today. hopefully tomorow i will mount my 13x8 revolution wheels with 235-50-13 tires in the back and 205-60-13 tires in the front. i think these will look really good cause they are black with machined lips and have an old school look to them. i'll post pics tomorow if possible
