CA Cheap Shell, New to Rotary

hey guys, i just got a 1991 rx7 rolling shell for 600. It does not have a tranny/engine/harness. Im a bit clueless on what parts i specifically need to get this shell running. If some of you could help with a list of things would help a ton.

Well, it sounds like you need a transmission, engine and harness.

How are we to know what is missing from your car?

Head over to the FAQ and download a copy of the FSM. And then to your local auto parts store and get a copy of the Haynes manual. Using those two manuals (the Haynes is a great quick reference and useful for 99% of questions) you should be able to figure out what is missing.

Did you get a Turbo or a Non turbo shell? It will make a difference in what parts are needed.

You basically need another complete car to rob parts from. You will go broke trying to hunt all the parts down on an individual basis.
