So do you know what engine they are going to drop in there ? It had a built 3tc before. |
Well the car DID come from florida, so it could be the same car. Well we like to keep our projects kind of secret, but from what i know so far its just a fully built SP Holley 13b. I have trown him the idea of slapping a huge turbo on there and he thought about it. But so far it will just be NA for now. He wants to get rid of it when he gets it done. Needs to move on to another project. Most likely my rx3! lol

Oh i c..
Well little update, took hood and sanded most of the surface rust it had. I used 120grit which sucks cause it takes for ever. Should i change to 80?? Im going down to bare metal and gonna wet sand when done. Then 2 nice coats of prime |
My RX3 is a 73 little wagon,with white interior, 60 below O starting system from Alaska Really deep surface rust on a silver car. I have been working on it through a major heart attack and open heart surgery. Have chased out the elecritical system and the fuel system as far as the carb,believe I will have to clean that. What is the big yellow thing you have where the coils are to the dizzy??? Thanks ,,Bob
|
Oh nice, you should get some pictures posted. Though make your own thread please don't want to fill this one with others cars lol
The yellow things are Accel Coils pretty old school. |
Got some work done on the car, cleaned rear right wheel well and sprayed with rust proof and underbody paint. We gonna sand the car down and fix all the holes with fiberglass/bondo and primer it. Then put it up for sale. Moving to another project.

well im not sure if it is indeed from factory. Don't want to find out the hard way either. I know its got sway bars, traction bars, and white interior. From what i been told thats kind of rare on some. But i don't really know.
|
my vinyl roof is long gone- i had to remove it to cut out rust!
It didnt look nice on a light coloured car anyhow. Mine came with alloy wheels fitted by mazda uk though- still on there! |
