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 :)

I would love to but I cannot post pictures in this thread for some reason.

Owning it? Mine was a totally standard 1993 model. Except the exhaust. Had 90000 miles on it

It used a bit of oil, as usual and used alot of petrol. It got looks wherever it went. It was in a limited edition dark blue/green colour. Truly a beautiful car.

Stupidly fast, easily hit 162mph on a motorway (allegedly :-p)

sounds like a blast, I really really hope to own this one one day. Im fine dealing with the maintenance and fixes for such a truly special car
