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

There is only one thing better than an RX3. And thats two RX3\'s! Nice work, can I drive the other one when your out enjoying this one?

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

If your bored I would have dropped up an rx4!
