Hello, I am Angelwankel. I am the owner of an '88 NA GXL that I bought may of '09. It had an engine with one dead rotor, zero compression on all sides for that one, and the other rotor was fair to middlin. No driveshaft, no transmission, electrical problems because of water damage - electrical gremlins suck, no exhaust, no speedo cable, and somebody had decided to take the rear passenger side brake caliper off. Just gone. The interior was also missing the idiot lights bezel, the entire - ENTIRE - radio surround and everything it encapsulates was gone except for the sad sad logicon that someone had tried to take out incorrectly and torn the faceplate off of it. The car still has no radio, but between the road noise, and the whirring of my transmission, I always have something to listen to. I am not new to the rotary community, I was at Sevenstock XII, my ex had a compression tester he put into the raffle at sevenstock, stayed at the doubletree, attended the afterparty, was part of the streaming video that was going on, all that good stuff.
I've helped take a 13b apart and put it back together, so I I've seen and done that. I got into cars when I was in HS when I convinced my father to buy a '78 Trans Am that we gutted and put a roll cage in and such. Not only did I take apart the engine that came in the trans am, but I helped rebuild the engine for that car, starting with a 350 block and putting it together from there, so I'm no stranger to piston engines. We raced the the Trans Am at San Antonio Raceway outside of Marion if anyone knows where that is.
I may have a Financial Crisis, but what I really want is a Financial Disaster. <3
