New series 3 in MD

Wasss up guys! Names Chris from pasadena, MD. Im a pretty big car guy but besides doing work on my gf's 04 RX8, i dont have any experience with rotary's. Just picked up an '85 RX7 carb'd 5spd. i believe it's the base model. Starts right up, has a slow coolant leak the guy before me thinks is a freeze plug. Besides that hood n roof is starting to fade, small small dent in drivers front fender and little to no rust (just surface) at all! 1200 from a guy at my work with 105k on 'er. I'll try to upload a pic and im sure i'll need help with the freeze plug issue. Hopefully everyone here is as nice as on volvo forums
Oh, i also have a heavily modded 09 volvo c30, a rebuilt '62 mercury meteor s33 and im slowly building a 1930 ford model a that i eventually plan to put a 5.9 12v cummins in. im 20 and working full time while taking a couple of college classes per semester. I'll try to get a few pics uploaded !

Beautiful! No AC to worry about, paint appropriately aged, beautiful interior. Whatcha gonna do?
Where do you see coolant? May well be intake manifold gasket.
There's a header and presilencer for sale in the 2nd gen classifieds. A great place to start.
And the rx7 club app is the easiest way to upload pics from phone. iPhone anyway.
