sorry, I see he had already replied to you

those interior pics convinced me to not to divest of the same complete interior I was trying to clear out of my garage. Think I have just the place for it instead.

free bump for a beautiful interior.

I'm going to throw in my input even if it may stretch the bounds a bit. I have had no dealings with Kevin or Rotary Resurrection personally, what I have to say just comes from my experience working in similar shops, on different, non-rotary engines. It may be helpful to those considering buying this car.

The race shops and money-is-no-object tuners get a lot of glory and press for what they do, and a lot of them deserve it. I will assert that the type of work that RR does can be much more difficult and challenging. It is very difficult to build a reliable, good performing engine for a customer on a budget. It takes a deep well of hands-on experience to reduce costs as much as possible and still produce a good engine that will last, perform, and give a customer their money's worth.

The fact that RR has been in business as long as it has, and is able to maintain a great reputation speaks volumes of the quality of work and the sum of knowledge about these engines that they have. While you may not see the name RR on a bunch of race cars, don't discount the idea of a "budget" builder. I guarantee he has knowledge to play with or even surpass the big boys who do the unlimited budget builds, if money was no object. You pick up a lot of knowledge when dealing with non-enthusiast customers and limited budgets. You must to stay in business.

I would personally buy an engine from him before just about any other builder mentioned on this forum, including the high dollar names. Again, I don't know him personally, never talked to him or bought anything from him. I just know the type. What he does is not easy, and to be able to create and maintain a solid reputation over many years shows he has the goods. The zero-hype website he runs speaks to this also.

Plus, his name is Kevin, that means he can be trusted, of course. My .02 FWIW.

Hi Kevin,

Glad you sold it, it looked like it was in great condition mechanically, and otherwise as good of condition as could be expected.
I think my 2004 GT is in need of an engine rebuild/replacement at 115,000 miles. Will be taking it to the dealer soon for a compression test and thorough diagnostic checkup. They say rebuilt crate engines are on National Backorder, so Rotary Resurrection is at the top of my list if I need a rebuild. I have been considering selling it, to buy a pickup truck which would be more practical for me, but if I'm barely going to recoup the cost to keep it running, I can probably justify keeping it as a weekend toy.

Thanks.
