Looks solid.. just handle the rust.. how is the interior? I like the color.. My dad always wanted to paint mine canary yellow.. I have a different lookin rear bumper on mine.. you can have it.. haha


I havent seen the interior yet. He told me that the dash is cracked and has average wear for a 30 year old truck. I am going to gut it anyway. I just hope that the guages and console are fairly decent.

I might take you up on that bumper..



It should be cool I am only paying $400 for the whole thing

12a can be made into a 13b?

OK i still have some **** to learn obviously.

Whats the diff between the 12a and the 13b?
the difference in the width of the rotors, so you can put 13b rotors and rotor housings and its a 13b

You might also want to get some 13B stationary gears because they are 5mm longer than 12A gears.

You mention that I need the front cover for it to work.

Is the only reason due to that crank angle sensor that you mentioned?

i think pretty much you get a 13B NA motor from a 86 to 88 car, rip the front cover off and install the cover that came off a 79 to 84 rx7.



wow... definite project car. Does the wife know about this?
