Well i was at the bone yard looking for a alternator nut and came across this 72 rx3 on its way to the crusher. I offered a good amount to save the car and got it. It has minimal rust but does need lots of parts. Im having a hell of a time tracking parts down. But here is a pic.

On a side note i did find a guy in texas that is a super great guy that has everything i need and i will be buying many many pars off of him.
For those who did not know of this company i came across them last night. They are like year one in a way and so far the only ones doing this that i have found so far but im confident that someone has the tooling dies to make more parts unless mazda is hoarding them for them selves.....

Yea i agree. I have met and know people who have the parts i need but greed takes the best of them.Even close friends dont wanna sell me parts for it. Most dont understand that rust is a cancer once it starts it dont stop no matter if its in the sun or rain or inside. Its sad really the cars rot till too much damage is done to them. They are tin metal jap cars. They are not made like american cars.

I found this rx2 about 6 months ago at a junkyard in Bakersfield while I was out there visiting my parents.took almost everything I could.
Found this a few days ago in a junkyard in Santa Fe CA,also took parts I needed for my truck and a few spares.
And after done taking parts off the truck and going towards the cashier I found this rx3 but mostly stripped to the bone already.

That orange Rx2 looks like it needs to be pulled out of that yard and saved, or stripped completely for panels, floor pans, glass, clips, etc... Looks like a saver!
