Update an RX-2 build

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been 8 months since I got the RX-2 and some progress has been made. Here are some pics of what it was and the current condition it is in.

now thats not totally true. I've showed you pics of mine. I really need to get started on it. I just bought a new house and am selling mine so I really haven't had time to do anything on it. I'm hoping to get started on it around tax time.

Why two colors

The engine bay was rust proofed. I was not sure if it would work. Went to a couple of car shows and saw similar layout. I then decided to leave the engine bay that color instead of spraying it over.

You are right about the pateince and dollars. I blew my budget right out of the water. I was trying to stay within $5.000 range. That's including the price of the car. I am well over $7.000, and I still have to do the suspension, some interior, and sound system. I think I could have bought one done already for about $6.000. I did not want to take the risk of inheriting someone elses problem. I can say with pride that this car is 100% rust free.

What I meant was any RX-2 or RX-3's on the street. I know of two other people that have RX-2's but are currently working on them. I was trying to get the car ready by October. That's when my wife was due for delivery. I got the car started by October but it will be driveable by the spring of 2008. Hit me up if you need any help.
