Title: Mazda RX3 number 2 and restoration
Post by: steve garbutt on July 01, 2013, 08:44:40 PM
Most people will know i have been restoring my 1973 Mazda RX3 for a few years, and im glad to say she is almost done (see my other thread).

So i was at a loss as to what to undertake next :3Confused

Until another 1972 RX3 came along :D , and with a little negotiation i was able to secure it :Thumbsup!

Its more work than the last but definitely worth restoring and i enjoyed the last one so much :Giggle :rolleyes:

Well here they both are and what will follow is a restoration thread with plenty of pictures :)

Here are both of my RX3\'s and im well chuffed with both of them, i know im gready  :yes

I\'m going to edit the title to what it should really say "rx3 number 2, 10 seconds or less"

Neither have I but I made the mistake of thinking a BP turbo rx4 was a good idea when in fact it\'s quite idiotic and possibly a bit scary:evillaugh
