Bear's bangers: getting a rotary restoration off the ground

Palette cleanser:

Looks cold out there. Come on in.

Need to do:

But not too bad...

Rust prevention system:

Allllllll of the dopamine

Usual yak-shaving, but it isn't. Carefully scrubbing under the arches and into hidden corners.

The mission? While I've no money for new brake parts and stuff, I can do everything I can to make sure it's like working on a new car, in some ways.

And also do things like getting common rust spots

Because right now it's at "paint flakes off but rust hasn't got a foothold.

Which is the perfect time, with this sort of access, to brush, rust-treat, prime, paint, seal everything. Slowly, like washing a bike with a  toothbrush kind of slowly, no rushing, no need to have it moved or on the ground for a while. Let it dry, let it soak, let it set, let it seal.

Even if it does need an engine rebuild or some other major work, it will be worth every penny if I give the car no pennies, but many minutes, of care right now. If it was just fixed and used as is, two winters and it'd be on the way to being another average RX-7 project again.
