1st project

Post by joshrx7fb »

Hi RX7 forum, just wondered, i have a fascination with RX7 FD's and am in a position to restore one that has average body work, small amounts of rust and a dodgy carburettor, would this be a good project for someone who has knowledge (granted limited) of the workings of rotary's however, i am competent at welding/fabrication and familiar with gearbox's. Just wondered if i could get some friendly advice before i fan-girl and buy the vehicle without too much thought.
many thanks
Josh

From the UK if that helps, and advice if the FB is a good car to which I can practice working on cars, and restore?
