Do a rotary swap on it, bro.

There was a Datsun 2000 here that had a Miata 1.8 and suspension swapped in and it looked pretty neat. Do something like that.

If you're willing to put in a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of work, it could be a beautiful car.

I will only make you regret your purchase if you skip out on any of the above.

Would that fit? I was considering a 86-88 MAZDA RX-7 S4 if I went down that route

According to the MGB community, the 13b swap is the better plan. RX7 ones apparently have some issues.

Id be less worried about the missing motor and more worried about the soft top.

don't need to, you'll start to regret it on your own here pretty soon

>>17030624
you bought a car with no engine.

>>17030652
lel its bad enough he bought an old brit car, why would he want to make it even more shit?

>>17030624
Pretty sweet I drove one of those and it is so much fun. Lack of rust is nice too. Whereabouts/how did you find this and did u negotiate?

The easiest engine upgrades to do would be a Rover V8 or Buick V6 (based on the V8). The parts should be readily available.

>not dropping a 20B in it instead

More rotors, more power.
More power, more fast.
More fast, more hektik.
More hektik, more skidz.
More skidz, more dorifto.
More dorifto, more salty babymen like Nakazato sad that their "purebread" shitheap was beaten by a "rotary potato".

>only 4 rotors

Create a 40B instead. Or make a 13-rotor 86B to put it in an AE86.

Enjoy your soggy chassis and generally poor enginering

Did you put it in your living room?

>not a GT
You fucked up.

At least you didn't go full retard and buy a later model with rubber bumpers.

That roofline looks all sorts of fucked up.

>>17030624
I would literally buy that off of you if you could deliver to ohio
I restore them professionally, you cant find them like that in ohio. granted, the engine is missing, that's.. not cheap but the body is what matters. how do the floorpans look?

>>17033511
This is what I want to know. Where the fuck is that?

>>17030624
the trim is worth more than what you paid.
