I got all of the rims done and its finally working properly. Turned out the secondary throttle plates in the carb were actually stuck shut. Now that they are free the car runs great and pulls hard to redline. It's off to Joe at Classic Auto tomorrow to have a few issues with the body fixed and bring the original paint back to a shine.

 

The car will be ready for the new season without a doubt!

 

That is the plan. I'm going to see if Joe would be willing to deliver it to me at the spring meet.

 

 

wow, the car is amazing !! congrats on the buy !!
i hope whenever car is all done you will go back to see the gentleman that sold it to you and give him a ride in it!!

 

It's looking very pimp indeed!

 

That is the plan. I told him when I bought it I would bring it back when it was done.

 

Nice find indeed! I'd try an auto body supply company for a light degreaser,if you haven't found anythin yet.im sure gunwash would work great and not damage the paint underneath.

 

Got my car back from Joe on Sunday at the spring meet. Those that were there got to see it up close. Joe did a great job as always. Next comes a full clean, detail, and wax. Then more pics.

 

 

 

Yes it is! I polished all of the chrome and trim, washed and waxed it.

 

Sweet!!

 

Wow, that is one gorgeous find! Think I've only ever seen one other RX-4 in a custom orange at a classic car show before. And here I can never find anything interesting in Ontario...

 

There are still some gems out there to discover.

 

The Rx-4 got put to work on Saturday. It got us around for our wedding.

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks.

 

Haven't been around here too much lately... NICE FIND!

I love it. Maybe I'll make it out to a meet next year and see it with my own eyes.

 

 

Thanks! Hopefully this summer we can do a bcm again. Although the rotary situation around here is pretty sad. I just have this Rx-4 now and Dave sold his fd too.

 

Ian you were missed this year, hopefully we can all get out more next season

 

Small update on the Rx-4. The original engine is smoking more than I'd like to see and fouls plugs after about 4000 miles. After 46 years I'm thinking the oil control o rings have probably gotten dried out and are letting oil past the oil control rings. So I built a spare engine that I had and I'll swap it in sometime soon. Then I can tear the original engine down and freshen it up as well.

 

so cool. Glad to see your still playing with rotaries. Looks like you have a new garage.
