Couple pics of my new baby

The pics are horrible cause its just my camera phone and the car is very dirty. I'll take some better ones pretty soon to put up...after its cleaned up lol

And yea, those are lexan covers on the windows and a host of mechanical gauges in the dash along with a custom "system" which includes a top of the line 8 track hahaha

Well next time I see you maybe I'll be in it and let you take it for a spin

I'll probably have it at Deals Gap but thats like 6 months from now.

The car has some rust here and there around the windshiels and rear glass, I'm probably going to spend some money having that repaired. The car needs a little bit of TLC here and there but its a really good solid car. Fix the rust, new carpet, headliner, windshield, fix the side mirror, replace the stereo...thats the agenda for now and that stuff will make it one HELL of a nice daily driver. Might throw on a 100shot hahaha. Right now the car is 1900 lbs with half a tank of gas and has 200rwhp N/A. A 100-150 shot will kick some major *** in this car

Yea, he made some custom boxes that mount to the door. I'm going to redo it though in molded fiberglass and contour it more, but using the same mounting point he used in the door. Probably change to a 5" or 6" with a seperate tweeter.....but all thats last on the list.

well, i gave up. . . found a $75 rx2 sedan. . . havent even moved it yet.

ya know, its not finding an rx3, its finding one that isnt marked up 10-fold. i know theyre cool cars, but they arent sold at barret jackson or anything.

yeah, i know what ya mean. there's several out there, but those that have them want too damn much for them and they're too far away. so right now, i've settled on an '84 non SE rx7 just to get my engine in something and driving again.
