Some interesting history about my two cars on this opening video. Some of you may have seen the 1st vid I posted of just the 1976 RX3. This 1st installment below actually includes about 1.5 minutes of that shoot pared down a bit. The version on YouTube is HighDef 1080P for those of you who appreciate resolution.

I try to keep things interesting so check back for more videos and photos as I get the work done

Cheers Mates!!

what engine are you planning to drop in? You should checkout Jay Leno Garage. There is an episode with a guy that restomod an rx3. And I am going to embark on that journey too. But I am not to familiar with rotary and I might drop a different engine in it.

It'll be a 12a rotary engine for sure on my build. Yeah, Jay Leno's Garage did a proper endorsement of Mazda RX3. How fun was that? Definitely stick with a rotary engine. If you're after power go with a 13b.

That is Savant's rx3 on Jay Leno's garage. He is a member of this forum although I dont think he comes on that much. His car is super nice and he is a super nice guy.

I did some fiddling around and made a website. Web design is not very high in my skill sets LOL.

I see I'm behind in posting links to my latest videos on this thread. Hm, I'll fix that.

Wow, very nice build! I appreciate all of your attention to detail. Vintage rotaries are special imo and I greatly miss my '74 Rx4. Keep up the good work, love to see it finished sooner than later
