My 73 rx3 work in progress
ok guys, It seems like everyone is sharing there projects so i thought i would share mine. I found the car in Georgia after the previous owner passed away. the widow left the car sitting in the front yard for 9 years before i rescued it.. I have had it for about 7 years just mostly sitting in my garage collecting dust.. i did a few things here and there to the engine like adding a MSD 6a and going direct fire and changing the carb a couple times...but nothing really major, but a couple months ago i found a body shop and rolled the dice... it is still in the shop but i will share the pics so far... i hope you enjoy!!! these pics are just before the trip to the body shop

that pretty much brings you up to current... lots of time and money in just that much... but when its done its gonna be right, nothing but good clean rust free metal... funds are getting a little low so the progress will actually slow down a bit
