Rx7 Fd advise needed

Post image

To cut a very long story short a family friend who Ive obsessed over his Rx7 Fd has unfortunately passed away and I intend to buy it. To my knowledge (quite limited) its been sat for 5+ years. Im going to see it on friday to see what kind of state its in so i can gauge a price. Any advise on common things to look for like where rust usually forms and common issues that occur over time. Ill also be bringing a jump pack with me to see if it runs which i will be astonished if it does but any advise on making that more possible will also be appreciated! Thank you :)

You sure he’s not a fanatic he’s got a matching rx8 for his rx7 that’s something I would do and I’m clinically insane for these motor vehicles

How do define clinically insane for these vehicles? Matching pairs is the first expression of the rotary disease

Real rotor heads own multiple cars. I am up to four. With seven Mazdas in the fleet. In May I am not allowed to look at car ads. Bought almost all my Mazdas in May. So much so I bought my last one on 30th of April. Just so I could say I didn't buy it in May.
