Heres the deal, i have an 87 tII, as you can tell....I bought it wrecked, now i can either fix it or buy a n/a for 500 bucks with blown motor and do a motor swap... is the swap worse than fixing the old rx7 and getting it inspected and having the value dropped cuz its salvaged...or is it pretty straight forward?

If the NA is in good shape the swap might be the best option. If it is the one that is "under a tree" then maybe you should reconsider. If the car will be street driven, I'd go with the one which can be registered and insured. A few on my freinds have been through the nightmare of trying to get an "R" titled car back on the road.

its only fraud if you swap vin numbers, that being said its still an na rx7 to your insurance company, so in the even of an accident thats all they will pay you for
