1973 Deuce restoration......
Hi fellow OLD SCHOOL ROTARY Fanatics, I just became the proud owner of this sexy Gem, a 1973 RX2, I had her transported from Los Angeles Ca to North Carolina last week. She is 99% Rust free, and no dings or dents. Im really looking forward to get this Gem all fixed up and ready, She came with 3 piece 15" Epsilon wheels, a RB header and full exhaust, the interiors are ok, then again for a 43 yo car is not too bad. Here are some pics, as I work on it I will post more pics. Any advise, suggestions, critics or comments are welcome. Thank you all!!!!
I was told these are Australian Tail lights.
Aftermarket suspension springs
15" 3piece epsilon wheels.
RB header and exhaust system

Dang man! I didnt realize you had transported it from CA! Was it an online auction type deal or did you know the original seller? If it was an online transaction was the car in the condition you expected when you received it? It looks like an awesome project and I for one am extremely jealous. I just don't have the nuts to purchase sight unseen

well I got some help from my Puertorican Connection and we figured out the electrical problem, did some trim installation and some engine and interior cleaning.
