small addition to the collection today
|
Nice finds , so lucky
|
What are your plans now? It's a shame the PO didn't store them better.
|
probably clean them up a bit and pass them along to someone with the room and knowledge to give them the attention they deserve
|
Is the Rx3 in the same 'condition'? Runner? Nice grab/rescue.
|
i was told it ran but i spent my energy on the rx2. i will put a battery and some gas on it and see what happens.
i do need a few parts for the 3 though. if anyone (or you know someone who) has a grill, driver door glass, trunk lid or tail lights, please get in touch with me. ill be at jccs and can meet in socal. |
very cool, have you checked with mazmart to see if they have the parts you are looking for?
|
I have the door glass and tail lights... shoot me a PM with your email and i will get you some pics if interested
|
Great find!
|

Pm me if you are. |
Wow pretty awesome!
|
Yeah I plan on selling the 3. Waiting on some parts to show up so it's more complete. Got it running today.
|
That is so fckng awesome how that little old car can turn on and have working components cool shit..
|
whats the story on how you found it?
|
took my rx2 to a car show. another attendee started talking to me about it. said his friend had a really nice one. he ended up sending that guy a pic of my car. guy messaged back saying he had some parts i could use and gave me his number. called him. set up a time to look at what he had. these were sitting out back under a tree and buried about 4" in the dirt. after negotiating a price on the parts, he offered to just sell the whole rx2 to me, which led to him offering to sell the rx3 too. went home. chatted with the one in charge. green lit. picked them up following day. started posting info and videos of them here.
|
cool story, you were at the right place at the right time
|
What are you gonna be asking for the rx3?
|
i picked up a grill and some tails.
looks like the grill doesnt fit though, i guess they changed throughout model years. its close but not quite there. https://sphotos-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/h...40106358_n.jpg anyone know what model year grill i have and which one i need? |
You have a 73 and older grill... you need a 74 newer
|
well the day has come for this jem
the rx3 is on the block so i can finish my rx2 sedan Mazda : Other coupe in Mazda | eBay Motors great easy cleanup/restoration for a winter project |
That thing cleaned up really nice!!! good luck bro!!
|
thanks man. thanks for the help too. i tried to find a viable solution to be able to keep it. even got the green light by the crazy chinese lady i live with(i love you) but i just dont have room or capital to fully restore this and keep my other projects going as well.
|
Pulled the 3 out of hibernation.
Fresh battery and fresh gas, fired right up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbhM9MTgBhY&feature=youtube_gdata_player |
