Yeah so much better doing it yourself, but then you are stuck years with a non running rx3. You could get one that needs work but runs.. I have driven all stock low mile rx3s and gotta tell you it beats all others!

+1 but dont get a girlfriend.....she will suck up all of your extra money that you can spend on the rx-3.
on a more serious note, don't let your wife influence your hobby. its your hobby and your cars. if you like the rx-3 keep it. if you sell it you will regret it....FD's are dime a dozen..they are everywhere.
i have a REPU and an FD. wife will go no where near the FD but loves the REPU. keep your wife happy by taking her out in the 8...that is my suggestion.

Ive looked at a few shells but problem is cars this year look good when they have all parts in , but when you start taking it apart to fix little rust you've seen it just keeps popping up every where little by little,, And cars ive seen been restore sometimes not sure how bad they been or what kind of work has been perform. To spend in a new shell and still need a lot of work is what im trying to prevent nd 6,500 is not in my budget in one chunk, I know my project will cost me the least almost 10,000+ the way I want it , not bad at all for what all I want, Paint will be the cheapest since my cousin works in a dealer and is the main painter , he hates mechanic work so I work on all his car for free so he will be painting my car for free with free paint that he will mix for me , I will hook him up when he done .. I really don't want to get rid of my 3 . I walked in my garage today since it was raining and was going to cut up an weld up but I need to get it sand blasted and seal before I start on bottom of car,,, Time is whats killing me I need more if it ,,

this is brutal.
if you don't have the spare money then it won't matter what car you get, rust or no, eventually you'll need to fix something on whatever car is in your drive.
lose the 8, buy a 4cyl toyota for your daily and sort out the 3. NEVER sell it. at least one of your kids will be stoked to inherit it.

Sorry for the long bla bla but is a bit more information about why Instead of getting Judged.

From a 20 years married guy with 3 kids and a bunch of projects: You will lament the day you got rid of it. My wife does not approve of my project cars(see the sig list), except HER Mustang. When she asks what I'm going to do with them(in that sh*tty tone we've all heard) I tell her that her time is better spent thinking about other things, because the cars are my issue, not hers. She needs to allow you YOUR thing. Sounds like you are providing and sacrificing for the family, and you need your things to enjoy. She needs to understand that. YOU decide if you want to keep or sell it. NOT HER.
If I sound like a dick, so be it. As time goes on, you get tired of having your life completely run by the wife. You're the man. Be one.
