New rx7 owner

Hello everybody, my name is Aaron Manchego, in the military, and i am stationed in ABQ, NM. I've had an rx8 for three years and have done every mod short of a turbo to it, but I came across a 1993 FD and I couldn't resist it, just picked it up Thursday! Its going to need a lot of work to make it into the car that I want it to be!

Thanks, our auto hobby shop on base helps out with having car lifts and every special tool I need to get things done. We never deploy from here and its usually a 7-4 job, so I have the time to take care of my cars!

Ah, a fellow military rotorhead. I was AF myself. I have a couple of friends working the 130s out at Canon. I've been out for a while, but after a few visits to the Auto Hobby Shop, they knew me by the smell of my old 12a and that unique sound. You'll make friends there in no time, and if they're cool guys, you might get some breaks on tool rental fees. Make friends with those guys, they can help you out immensely if they know their stuff.
