FerociousP is on a distinguished road
Talking '79 SA Reliability Build.

'79 SA 149k with 45k rebuild.

Good
- Beautiful Silver paint with "custom" pinstripes (not a fan of the Rx-7 Stickers)
- Very decent if not awesome interior
- Rock solid idle when warm

Bad
- One rust bubble on rear fender
- Noisy rear end (probably wheel bearings)
- omp lines were connected wrong, but immediately remedied
- oil cooler bracket is broken and currently held up with string... yes.. string...

Overall it's a 30 year old car that is in relatively excellent shape. Planning on fixing the rear end, giving the suspension/steering a once over, and doing the maintenance on the engine replacing vacuum lines, oil, plugs, etc. I has Autolite plugs in it, and while normally I would say only use NGK... the things idles wonderfully and runs decent, so they can't be too bad.

Photos taken just seconds after getting home in poor light.
