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

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.

What are you gonna be asking for the rx3?

stevensimon

iTrader: (11)

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.


anyone know what model year grill i have and which one i need?

73rx313b

iTrader: (40)

You have a 73 and older grill... you need a 74 newer
