New REPU owner
Just wanted to let you all know I am now the proud owner of a non running '75 REPU. I've moved it to a friends shop until I can get it to my garage for the makeover. ;-) It's a white manual with a little rust but straight. But, they put a 4 cyl boinger in it so I of course will have to go back w/ a 13b 4 port or 6 port engine. They also had another REPU that I will grab (not sure of the year yet) to part out mainly for the original 4 port engine but rust has gotten to that one in a bad way so it will make a good donor. I'm assuming that during the boinger mod they cut or removed the crossmember under the engine to fit it in? (I forgot to check that) Anyway, just wanted make my presence known and to let you all know I've enjoyed reading all the posts here and hope to have fun sharing/gaining rotary knowledge together. I'll post the before pics of her as soon as she makes it home.
See ya,
Jerry

Thanks for the words of encouragement ovquick... Can't wait to get started on it. I feel like it was a good find. And, I'm sure it will be enjoyable.
