Honestly, as hard as it is to come up with old schools that are complete, you should buy it and save it. Sure, the body work will be big bucks, bit restored oldies are gaining in value. You may even find a parts car to cut and replace the rear 1/4 from.

Btw, get the REPU too, you'll need something to chase parts down with, lol. Good luck with the project if you take it on.

 

I'd also like to see some pics of that 'camper van' in the background. Looks like a sweet custom job

 

Definitely rebuid it John! They're always making more money but they're not making anymore 3's....

 

I am still banging away at my rotary little wagon , 78K and all there , so go for it. Bob

 

any news? did you pick the car up and start the restoration??

 

No he didnt, its not out on the "row" yet.

 

Besides, the thing is BEAT TO ****. The back quarter panel has been hit, and repaired with bondo, and its literally rusted through. It looks terrible. Plus, there is no title for the car.

 

Yes, the car had some legal issues that the wrecker didn't want to get tangled up in. The cars ownership reverted to the state and had to be junked. The car now looks terrible having all of its sheet metal being dented from the forklift. All fenders, drivers door and even the roof is dented. The rear quarter panel is pretty rough but is not rusted through yet. The bottom most part of the trunk where the spare tire sits is rusted but the rest of the trunk was rust free and solid. It looks like the car sat for about 24 years as it was last registered in 1983.

 

I got the mirror off it, that was still in good shape hahhahaha.

 

Today was the end of the line for the '75 RX-3. Its the second from the top just under the blue car.

 

that's it? no one picked up the doors, hood, trunk, lights, exterior and interior trimmings??? those would've been good parts.....

 

No,
I don't think is worth saving!

 

I got about half of what I wanted from the car but they crushed it in record time. The hood , trunk, and bumpers were all good but............

 

Damn thats just mean!!! I thought it was POS but, seeing it pan caked is WRONG! My sick side in laughing tremedously, but sensitive side wants to say a prayor or cry..........

 

 

What a shame
