Thanks guys!

I plan on keeping it as original as possible. When I took auto-tech in high school the car I was assigned to was a 1979 Rx-7. Partially because the teacher had never had a reason to let anyone work on it. He knew I owned an Rx-7, and I really wanted to be assigned to that car. I remember thinking how ugly the SA was, and how superior my FB was. It was faded red, with a plaid interior. It even had an aftermarket backseat! The cars glovebox was full of old Pacific ads and magazines, and Mariah magazines. So I kept a lot of those, with permission of course.

I loved that car, and it was all original as well. I learned about carbs, and points, and drum brakes with that car. So lots of good memories.... Even did some burnouts in the school parking lot. So when the end of the year was approaching I started hounding my teacher to sell me the car. Unfortunately cars that are donated for educational purposes must be crushed. I did take a memento, the firewall vin plate, I made it into a fridge magnet. Years past, and I began to want an SA, I really wanted the same car color/interior. But when this popped up, and I sat in it... It was like being in a time capsule, both because of how nice the car is, and the memories from high school. It even sounds the same as that car... So yeah, its perfect just the way it is!
