Windshield is in, with a "temporary fix". Driving it this summer to enjoy it instead of collecting dust

Sweet! Enjoy having 1/3 of the population asking what the hell it is, 1/3 recognizing it for what it is, and the final 3rd wondering whats so special about it.

The Duece went camping last weekend, since the Turbo-Weasel blew a crank Position Sensor

Spent the day under the Duece, at least I had it on a lift. Fabbed a new rear brake line from Cunifer tube from www.FEDHILLusa.com. The job turned out great! Bled the brakes, changed the oil and diff lube in prep for the trip to Atlanta for the Old Guys With 12A's meet next Tuesday. The Fedhill flaring tool made making flares a breeze!

Sorry for the lack of pics but my hands were too grimey to use the camera on the smart phone

More of a "repair as I go" project than a proper restoration. I pulled it on the rack today to finish the rocker panel repair. Pics are over on the RX2 Facebook page

As mentioned earlier...I love the panasports on that car!!! Rust repair is an unfortunate, all too common part of life with these cars. Glad to see you got to use the car this summer though...it motivates the repair. Good luck with it.

Thanks! That was the logic in repairing small areas in a session
