				I finally got inspired to work on a car and apply the very rudimentary knowledge I have of mechanics. The first car that came to mind was the RX-7 (FC), but I looked around at other '80s cars too, such as MR2s, 944s, and Preludes. The RX-7 was always my favorite looking car, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a rotary because I have no experience and it seemed like there would be more complications with an atypical engine. My friends recommended looking at an older (series 1) RX-7 because there would be less electronics and it would be easier for me to start with. Fortunately, I liked how the FB looked even more than the FC. Just by chance an ad for a used and functional 1985 GSL-SE came up and even though it is fuel injected, I didn't think I could pass up that opportunity!
Here are the more significant things on my laundry list:
1. new front suspension
2. fix tiny, tiny oil leak
3. fix small windshield leak
4. new tires
5. hook up speedometer
Thanks!
