Terri\'s RX3

BTW check the sills carefully and if suspect replace them as they are thin metal.
Unfortunately you cant buy replacement sill sections you will have to fab your own

Cheers Steve, thanks for the tips. There is a lot of underseal on there, i\'ll get her on the spit in time and see how solid she really is. Ooh wow a spare screen??... Your RX3 looks mint btw!

I\'m trying not to think about the blue RX3 we had sat in the garden for so many years and gave away (well, pretty much anyway), I heard that the shell was scrapped but the interior was all kept, kicking myself now! That one was a super deluxe too. Mine is a Deluxe, i\'m not sure what the differences were.

I\'m looking forward to working on all those little bits, I have one seat and some door cards, the upper part of the centre console but not much else but i\'m not in a hurry. i\'ve got the RX4 to be getting on with first as well

I\'m sure my dad has a load of photos i his computer so I will get them and send them too you. Hopefully it is the same car your dad had. Carl still has it, he has got an engine sitting in it at the moment but needs a gear box for it

I do have 2 RX3\'s, the super delux and the delux, both have heated rear windows and the delux looks like its the original window with seal witch is confusing haha

Wow! Rear window demister eh? New fangled tech stuff hehe

Thanks Carl, i\'d love to. I\'m moving house in about 2 weeks and after then i\'ll be quite near to your place and i\'ll give you a shout so I can pop in.

Dad\'s old racer was originally a Celebration model, i\'ve still got the centre caps from two of the wheels from it. They make nice paperweights in the office for now

Both specs were pre wired for the heated rear window. You\'ll find the wire in the boot under the rear shelf (spade connector I think). Mine was a Super Deluxe but no heated screen. Found the power wire and connected a stick on heated element instead (and I haven\'t seen those for many a decade either).
There was no separate switch, on/off was via the blower switch
