SOLD

As much as I wanted to restore it, I need to sell it. All-original car parked in 1985. Almost no rust. It comes with another carb, so me thinks that was the problem with it when parked, but I don't know, have not looked it over closely at all or even checked if the engine turns over, and at this price I am not going to. You can watch my video on it to see it and the condition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlA3bSmkMkw&t=304s

Here is the video on the car, while i did buy a Tribeca with the EZ30, i think this car is just too good original condition to do anything but restore it, so that is my plan now. I do hope i can get the parts I need. cheers, jack

Rotaries are very reliable, until they are worn out after 75k-125k miles. nothing like a toyota, i have two rav4's, a 2-door with 300k miles, and just bought a 4door with..wait for it..368k miles, both all original. Now a EJ25 blows head gaskets too, so let's not talk down rotaries too much, and with the rx8 motor, 200hp that fits in no problem, and i like. However, just looked over this car, and it is amazing, only 69k miles, fully intact, just weathered from sitting in a field for 30 years, so i think it is best to try and restore it..i think. I made a video of it, will post it as soon as I can edit it up.

I have found a 78 Brat that is complete but has been sitting for over 20 years, engine does not turn over. I was thinking to 'restore' it into running condition, but the engine seems too far gone. Given a swap to another engine, there was an 88 wagon, which i understand is a straightforward swap into the brat. On the other hand, i was thinking a rotary engine would be rather cool and would fit easily. A 4wd rotary car itself is pretty rare, but a rotary brat? the older rx7 motors with carbs might be a simple swap with an transadapter. Found a rotary Samurai on youtube.. Or the other thought is lower it and make it hotrod and just rwd? Opinions?
