Wanted to share my build with you guys.
Found this 1987 Turbo II on craiglist. Previous owner said that the rotary was blown and has been sitting under a tree for the past 3 years. The car was absolutely in awesome shape compared to the other cars that I had been finding. Snagged it for $1000. Was skeptical on it because I bought it impulsively at night without really being able to get a good clear view of it. I returned the next morning with a trailer and knew I had gotten lucky. Minimal rust, complete interior, fairly unmolested.
Pics of when I first bought it.
First things first. Got it home and gave it a bath. I was amazed to find some clear coat left under there.
Took some time away from the car as I moved into a new house and work space. Got it all setup. Ready for an RX7 build!
Next step was to get the 13b and trans out.
Called up a couple of Puerto Rican buddies from area and had the stock motor and trans sold within 3 hours of it being pulled. I was still under the impression that the motor was blow so I sold it all for $500. Turns out later that the motor was in perfectly good shape, but we'll get there and i'll explain later.
