I'm looking for a little winter project, one thing thats bothering me is the tax disc that's displayed is for the 10/2013, does that mean this car has be sat for 2 years ? when were these photos taken ?

[£800]

I bought this as a project but have decided to go in a different direction.

Its a '92 Fd3s (Private Reg C11 ETD) included with the sale
Its a pretty straight car with no rust, there are a few dings from storage but wouldn't take much to sort, Also has a red leather interior and a stainless steel apexi exhaust

The car was an auto but there are manual conversion parts included with the sale.
Parts that i can see are missing are the engine, gearbox, radiator, carpet and front indicators also one wheel is different

The car is located in peterborough, cambs













Loads of other parts included although the 99 spec indicators have been sold


£800

Did this ever sell ?

I\'ve been looking around for a good while now and have come up with nothing



Anyone got any ideas ? i can\'t even find any mention of a type RM

Noooooo don\'t tell me your selling bits off your fortune ?? it was your car that inspired me to do mine

ive wanted an rx7 for years now but the ....le engine has always scared me as i used to work building engines for landrover and honda i just wouldn\'t know where to start with something without pistons.
im getting on a bit ive decided to face my fear and instead of buying one and wondering when the engine will go i thought i\'d take on a bit of a project and buy one that already needed the engine doing and do it myself, that way i would gain some knowledge on how it all works

how much will a diy rebuild cost ?

any words of advice or encouragement would be great

i\'ll tell you all a story

i friend of the family runs a garage and at the beginning of the year a lad brought a 93 rx7 in for an engine rebuild and a full respray as the red paint had gone orange, just as the car was finished he gets a call from the rx7 owner saying hes just won 3 million on the lottery and he can\'t be bothered with the rx7 anymore  :eek

so he tells my mate to just sell the car to get back the money that been spent on it

now hes offered it to me for £3000 because he just wants it out of his yard


this is why im asking all of thiese questions

on the log book it says it is a 1.3 is this right ?

the other thing is ive looked around and seen quite a few rx7\'s now but ive seen some listed with 1.3 engines and some with 2.6


is this right ?

ive alway fancied an rx7 but to be honest the engine frightens me
ive now decided sod it im going to buy one, can someone please give me some tips on what to look for ?

i used to build engines for landrover so im quite mecanically mind but i haven\'t got a clue what im looking for on a wankle


thanks for any help
