What a winter man! The end is near!!!!!! At least it stopped snowing! I can't wait to finish up and do some serious driving!

All legal and run the stuff out it. The rotary is eating the rear tires off it, but I'm sure my heavy foot is not helping!

Finally got some seats, went with the Miata seats for comfort. Also added a flush mount filler cap for the fuel cell.

Hey Dave. I followed your project, Thought you did a great job.So nice to work outside in the south with out winter breathing down your neck half the year.I liked the video of your test drive,that part of the country must be great for sports cars.The colour looks great .hope you have lots of happy miles on your car.

Thanks Chris and Tim. It been along time coming but well worth it. It loves the back roads and feels like a KART car with the high revving Rotary. Perfect match. Plus I shed 100lbs +, it weighed in at 1306lbs once completed.

Do you have any more pictures/explanation of cutting into the frame/fabricating a new one around the motor? I would also be curious about your motor mounts... I'm trying to stuff a BMW M30 straight six into my Sprite, it *fits* with the standard frame but I would like a little more room around the oil pan for when the motor torques, the pan is aluminum and I'm a little wary about having only about an inch of clearance... cheers.
