So this is YOUR Bro's car Wacky? If so, nice ride. I like the way they tied your constant heckling into the article too. Good read, and great ride.

And the wacky touch is very impressive - to say the least!

Good to see some old school cars getting featured too.

Excellent work!

thanks guys. Credit goes to my bro 79Seven (Dave) for keeping a cool head especially when tools are flying in different directions . He also kept the small garage refrigerator filled with cold heines. And to my loving wife and kids for not bugging me despite I spend more time in the garage instead of the family room.

Now, hand me my grammy award.

thats on the wagon but the 74 sedans came with small bumpers AND the thick *** rubber bumper protector. Then in 76, it came with big bumpers and unsunk grills. I had a 74 and 76 RX-4 (at the same time) but sold them. Too bad that digi cams were not available.

What about this one? This is, I was told, a 74 sedan. The original paperwork sugests it as well. This one was in Iowa put on eBay in june and didn't meet the reserve. The tail-lights ore odd. They trouble me. Very odd.

Wackyracer, you're bro's car is off the hook. That's what I am striving for my rx2 to look like. Nice job to you and your bro. Has he ever ran it down the quarter and if so what were his times?

No times yet due to work schedule but his other RX-3 SP will come out with more than double the fun.
