Hi Gang, I've always loved the first generation and figure to own one someday soon. Its all I need to complete my collection (lol) I was just wondering what to look out for and a few tips from the folks that know them most! I was thinking about getting a project one with high miles, kind of beat and need of a new engine. Then getting a street ported 13B and full exhaust etc........
That would be kick @$$
Thanks guys!

also, remove bins and check for rust (under the wheels and door trims)

peejay

Also the floorpan area where the rear axle's lower links attach to the body. Big rust problem area. Upper link mounts too but you can usually see that from inside, unless you're looking at an SA22C instead of an FB3S. SA's are quite a b!tch to get at the rear wheelwells from the inside, they don't have bins, just a big ugly steel cover.
