Yea I think that I probably could, but I don't have a compressor or a good place to paint. If I find someone to do it reasonably I will probably just pay to have it done, but if I get it street legal and find a place to work, Ill probably take a stab at doing it myself.

PS, my ride looks a lot like yours. I uploaded a picture for my signature, but it isn't showing up. Any idea why?

Anyone had any work done by these guys? It's gotta be too good to be true that I have a local rotary engine builder?

Yeah... both are broken. Car is probably going to go up for sale. The entire situation is ****, even with a 6k budget no one wants to rebuild the stupid ******* engine. So yeah I get to put a shity Mazda reman in it....

And I'm on my 4th ******* defective phone in the pass 3 days.


Life is just peachy right now..

What happened to pineapple? There's a rotary guy in haughton, I believe. Lemme ask my dad, unless u already paid for the reman. Actually I think reman was a good deal until the price doubled. Mine is still going strong. Been three years.

I rather not talk about my experiences with trying to get the engine rebuilt. But they obviously all ended badly. I got back in touch with Charles, he should be calling me Monday... If you want to ask them go ahead, by Tuesday this engine needs a destination to go to or I'll be ordering the junk reman.

Yeah I have been, but I fear it will not be quick enough. The 2 real issues are storage and transportation while it's down.
