Well, it looks like all of my work for nothing will be paying off sooner rather than later. I just found an '85 GSL-SE for free. It has been sitting for a couple years and there is something wrong with the front suspension. I don't know anything about the car yet other than it is complete and ran a couple years ago. As soon as I get it towed to my house I'll take a closer look at it. Then I can decide if I have a fixer upper or a parts car. Either way I just got a free RX7. Go me.

Well, not a parts car at all, or I would be happy to help you. I got the car today and it started up fine. Only thing wrong with it that I can tell so far is a broken tie rod and a bad battery. I'm going to post a new thread with pictures. Once I get everything fixed I might sell it or maybe keep it. It all depends on how it drives after I fix the tie rod.
