Talking My RX3 YEEEE HA

I pulled an RX3 little wagon ,1973, from a barn. Hadnt been started in 17 years. Now it runs, Did a small war dance around it when it finally started. so many little things to fixx ,like clutch , brakes and plugged sensors. and senders. and a cold air pipe. and tires . long way to go. Bob Holton

Dear Mr Bob Holton.


Sir, age is no excuse for your internet ignorance. You can buy books. (In clay tablet if you're that old) that explain how to do things like this and use forums etc. Internet for dummies worked well for my mom, and not only is she Old but english is her second language. Honestly though, it's sort of cruel to post such good news and not have any pics.

Cool rx3

This car came from alaska ,has 78K on it, piles of rust because they dont undercoat up there . came to Michigan, and died, sat in a garage for seventeen years til I pulled it out. its all there except a badge on the left rear and the cold air pipe. I will take pics tomorrow and send them to you. I just can never make them work on the forum. And I am as far as I know the oldest active person on the forum. Bob

I didn't even know Rx3's could survive in Michigan - much less Alaska, that's quite a find you have there.
