New Aquisition! ...another Rx3!

1973 Rx3 Wagon!

Initially I misunderstood that the car was a Coupe. After arriving to the destination and pointed in its general direction, I still could not see it. Then faintly though all the tall grass trying to hide her, she appeared!.

What can I say. I was still just excited that it was another rx3 in fair condition and better yet, COMPLETELY intact right down to the stock hubcaps. Heck, the keys were still in the ignition

Tomorrow I will look it over with more time and patience. So far engine oil looks good and the engine turns over by hand...

Another nice find, John.
How soon will one of these wagons be hitting street?

Thanks!

Unsure at the moment as now the plan may have changed. My red wagon, which is in fantastic condition, was missing the original motor when I got it. I had obtained a 12a as a replacement but now that I found this white one, although in fair condition, has the motor which is complete to restore the red one.

At the moment, I'm thinking...

Red wagon - restore...
White wagon - modified... maybe 12a, 13b or 13b turbo

Still unsure though as which direction I will go...
