Kyle the Rotary Doctor in Neosho, MO.

He's got a helluva rotary graveyard there.
He does rebuilds also.

Started in on the Nordic Green car this week. Got it out from under the cover, took it for a quick drive, and then it got rained on and the rain mixed with the pollen made a mess of the car. I decided to clean the interior and was reminded of how much I love these cars and how much I love the interior. Many good memories for me in the interior of an RX-8 and I feel like I need to get on the ball and finish this car. It's been hard due to battling end stage kidney failure, but im going to try and buckle down on the car. Took a couple pictures to share:

Kidney failure?
Are you waiting for a transplant?

I'm waiting to pass committee to get on the list. I've cleared all medical tests and I'm just waiting for them to clear the transplant. Once that's done I'm on the list. From there, the goal is to find a living donor to expedite the process and for longevity. I have a few people willing to step up to see if they're a match and if not then its a waiting game.

Thank you! No worries at all on tainted parts, I don't think I can even donate blood lol.

Nice pictures! They really are gorgeous designs.
My 2004 Nordic Green is still under its cover.
Should be uncovering it next weekend.
Praying that your transplant comes through quickly.

Hoping the transplant process goes through rapidly for you. Lots on your plate - take care.

Thank you guys for the warm wishes! I have 8 kids and I'm only 42. I have a lot left to do in life and I don't intend to give up. My doctor advised me to retire and rest, taking disability money. I smiled and thanked her for the advice. I decided to take on more hours and I work two jobs, one in which I work for a car dealerhsip where I manage the express service department in all 5 of our dealerships, and I'm a part time police officer and work 3 or so nights a week. So I refuse to lay down and quit so to speak. Some days are very difficult, I'll admit. But I feel as though if I stop, that's when I'll go down. Part of the process is restoring my cars on the side. Currently I'm saving up for a new engine for this car. I have another core I could rebuild. I'm not sure which route I'll go, but either way, this is something I want to finish.

Before I left for work yesterday I snapped a couple pictures of the car and wished I were able to drive it to work. I'm pretty motivated to find a good engine for this car!

Have you tried scouting salvage yards for wrecked 8s that might have a good engine?

I haven't but that's not a bad idea. I may end up with a reman in the end to ensure longevity.

It might be a good stop gap until you can swing a good rebuild or reman.

You might get lucky and find a fresh rebuild or reman and not have to worry about it anymore.

I remember someone hit the jackpot and found one with a Mazdaspeed bumper once.
