TX soon to own an FD

ok i'm new here and new to fd's. I've always had a civic or put work into a civic, but owning an fd has always been on my to-do list. I have many plans for the rx7 i'm about to pick up, but not much knowledge on the rotary motor even though i do plan on getting rid of that later for something i have always wanted to put in an rx7. any help is appreciated especially shops in the houston area that can help with a rebuild of the motor i just need to get it running. hopefully i can learn as much about this car as i did with my civic. thanks guys

TX soon to own an FD *pics version*

Ok i introduced myself on here a while back but didn't have pics to show my new fd i picked up for 3300 not running. Well i finally brought it home a few days ago and after 4 long years of it sitting in someone's lot untouched i figured it needed a long awaited wash. Oh i'm Enrique from houston, tx and i'm glad to say i'm happy with my decision in getting an fd. Ok enough talk here is a few pics of it that i took with my phone.


my hatch and fd together
