Saving A FC!! First car, 14 years old

Hello!! I'm turning 15 soon, and having an Rx7 has been my all time dream. The past two years I had started getting more serious on finding a deal as I'm getting closer to being 15 1/2, and in California, that's the age you are able to start getting your permit. Everyday checking Craigslist, Offer Up, Let-Go for any good deals and saving up every penny I ended up not finding a thing- That is until one day after driving down a city that is mainly fields and big mountains, spotting a pair of S4 taillights shining with plants growing through the rims. I at that moment asked my dad to stop the car and asked the man in the house if he would think about selling. He let me inspect the car, and its an S4, GXL, Non-2+2, Turbo II mirrors, but that it's going to need some work to get it into its former glory. He gave me a price and I lowballed, and let's just say that I got it for under 500!! It has a full interior and when I got it it it had the radiator, fan, shroud, intake, sparks, belts, and everything in the hatch uninstalled but in the 2 weeks that it's been at my house my friend ( also 15 with a red GXL ) and I have installed almost everything with minor problems ( the fan rubs really bad with the shroud /: ).

What I plan to do is just get some old school 14s like Longchamps or Watanabes, some coil-overs, a wangan wing like a RE replica, and beef up the NA power as I don't plan to go turbo ever.

I make old school sticker designs for my car group with my friends, it's called 93 Octane and so far we have 2 Rx7s we plan to take to the track once we understand our driving and the limits of our cars. Our Instagram is @drinkoctane if you want to see some designs I've made and maybe some stupid videos soon.
