It Lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes finally, i wne tand bought a battery for my rx2, started messing around with some random things, and in about an hour it fired up. after not being ran in 5 years. I drove it up and down the street a couple times jsut so i can say I have driven a RX2. I am not sure everything functions but that damn thing came through. now i jsut need to clean her up and fix the leaky/rusty truck and much will be good. there is alot of rust that need to be done as well, mostly below the windshield and below the rear window. does anybody knwo if there is a good write up on that? thanks matt22

i found it and my other one a 71, while on the way to working on cleaning up a local pond for the city. my brother and some of his friend use it to train the Labs, but anyways, i saw the orange one first and was freaking out, the next day we drove slower and he had some other cars, and behind them was the red 71. so eventually i went over there and bought them from him. i still need to go back and get a set of rims he has. hopefully they will fit the rx2. the 72 had sat since '00 and the red one since '98 so togather they will make one sweet car. I actually took them home right before winter hit. so i have basically jsut started working on them. lates matt22
