So about a year and a half ago I drove by this area in BFE and noticed a car chillin in the woods. I pulled over and found it to be a complete FC. It was unlocked and had the key inside. I ran the name on the reg and tried to reach the owner. Unfortunately I was unable to do so BUT...I did get ahold of the owners father who actually currently owns the car. He is asking only $200 with a title. I pulled the car out of the woods to further investigate any rot or damage and the only...ONLY rust spot on it was on the passenger side floor board and it was only about the size of a dime. At that time I had a lot going on so I didn't buy it but I recently went back about 2 weeks ago and it was still where I left it. I decided that Im going to go grab it in about 2 weeks as a project for my son and I to do. Hes going on 13 so hopefully itll be something he can learn with and able to drive when the time comes. Our plan is to pull the rotary and drop a 1j in, replace the red interior with black and whatever else we can come up with. Its mainly just a car for him and I to bond over and make memories from.

Could be fun to learn the ins and outs of the rotary first, drive a bit, then do a swap if it's still an interest of his, imho. I think it's a great idea whatever you do with it and the price sure is right if you have the space for a project car. Cool dad points +1000 :bigthumb:
