My R100, running strong but needs help

[Augustus]

Hey guys. I've got a '71 R100.

Its been modified quite a bit over the years. It has a 12A from a first gen RX-7 that has been street ported with a Weber carb on it, it has '79 RX-7 front brakes on it, and probably quite a bit of other modifications. I recently acquired the car, from my brother in law, who has had it for many years. Before that my father owned it, since before I was even born. The car was modified in the early '80s by Louie Rivera for autocross use. It may have had a bridge ported motor in it in the past, I don't know the full history.

Anyway, the wearing components, except for the drivetrain, are pretty much toast. Bushings, sealed greased joints, shocks, etc... All pretty much dead. The car is driveable, but every time I pull out of my driveway I feel like I am just destroying the car by driving it with the suspension bushings and joints in such bad shape. Almost all the rubber in the joints is gone, especially on the sealed joints.

I figured I'd post here, introduce the car, and hopefully find a source for shocks, joints, etc for my car.

I love this car, its been in my life since I was born, and I want to treat it the best that I can. I just don't have the money to drop it off at a custom shop and tell them to make it right again.
