Bought a dead, rusty, $200 79 rx7 for my latest project. All the electronics are "good". It turns over just won't start, most likely due to the gas tank sitting inside the car.

That is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

Treat her well. Don't stance it. And enjoy the hell out of it- the more stories you have, the better the car will sell at the end.

(Given this is $200, I'm seriously tempted to make a LeMons suggestion, but this generation of RX-7 is a borderline classic... I'm torn.)

Eugh.

Now at flip-a-coin LeMons.

Rust is no fun, and let's be honest, an RX-7 would kick ass at LeMons with some performance upgrades and better cooling. Just do an Oppo competition for the livery, k?

It's like project Oppocar's poor uncle.

That is a great color.

Might be slightly too good a donor for what I would have in mind, though.

Think Corvette Grand Sport Roadster... except RX7 and rotary-powered roadster race car.

It is not worthy of your idea.
