Yeah my plan was to remove it cause i wanted a red scheme. But im finding my self with less time this days so i put it up for sale. I don't need to sell it, just want to see if i can get what i want. If not ill just drop it off in storage and finish her when i can.

 

I might have to sell mine- I dont want to and I know i'll miss it!!!

Keep it if you can- you'll be so happy once you are driving it about- they get so many more looks when cruzin' about than any modern car and are so fun!!!

 

Well my plan is to drop it off at the body shop here in future if i can sort out this deal. Then i don't mind keeping it in my garage till i redo the underbody and engine. But as it sits its just taking up space and i cant really do body work at home. If i keep it plan A. Do body work and finish it slowly. B. Put it in storage till i get time.

I know car will be awesome when done!

 

Some work i did today. Gonna brush off all the **** and rust from front wheel wells tomorrow then spray black rust tough. Also thinking of dropping off bumper and right fender to get acid cleaned. Then see how bad that rust hole on the fender is. Either redo that or buy another one.

And finally my other baby!!

It will get another drop monday. Then DD till winter and spend my money on the Rx3.

 

Update!!
Been slowly taking things off the car. Right now its all stripped interior minus dash(hard to get off ). Turns out rear seat floor is pretty rusted, good thing is i don't see any holes. Will find out later when i remove all rust. Trunk has the fuel tank still which i will take out this weekend. The trunk floor is in really bad shape. Someone cut where the spare went and then adden a alum sheet and rivets to cover up. Guessing they put a fuel cell or it rotted out. again it has lots of rust but not many holes. Should be easy to replace. Engine bay still has engine and tranny. Should have those out this weekend. All wiring is hanging on sides. Once engine out i will start Soda blasting the engine bay and wheel wells. Then slowly move towards the back.
Im new to welding but i will try my hardest to get better lol. But otherwise i will be doing everything besides hard welds and paint.

looks really good... keep up the efforts man... your as far on yours as i am on mine... and i started before you... no fair.. lol

 

wow...you had me going with the rx3...but when that starlet and duce came up...i didn't know what to say...

 

Thanks man! I actually thought i had bought a much nicer car, but you know how craigslist is. Oh well either way i think its worth it.

Lol and i work on mine weekends only. Ill update here in a second.

The deuce is my friends but it may change hands to me if i sell the rx8. but contemplating on a 20b rx7 project. Will c. Also starlet is mad clean and his too. Ill update weekend with his new samurai rotary!!
OH and new rx3 too. crazy new with 90k original paint and interior.

 

Soda blasting tank.

 

What is going on in the trunk.Did you fill in the hole for the spare tire.

 

Also I have the new mount bracket for the Rx2 and Rx3 to install a Rx7 transmission it a plate the mounts to the original hole for the transmission on the body and uses the Rx7 mount .
I will be posting pictures of the bracketor soon

 

Somebody cut spare mount out and put that on. Did a horrible job covering it. So my plan is to blast floor and see how bad it is. Then replace both layers with sheet metal and call it a day.

And I have a few t2 tranny mounts for it. It's a simple job to do.

 

Want to so a single owner Rx3 completely factory stock with 78k original miles??
And no bitch *** come in here and say you "got" or can "get" one of this cars for 5k.

 

And black Suzuki will be rotary by end of weekend.

Again this car is in MINT condition all original. Want to know what a true un-molested rx3 cost? PM me.

 

I see the car for sale,I was going to sell my Rx3 to get this one.I know his car is not cheap the price was up there but again if you buy a Rx3 paint it install a new motor it will be the same amount.Happy for you..

 

great car!!!! i looked at that car in Durham and was considering it also

 

Not really, totally original is way better than a bondo filled one. you could go all out and do a pro restoration and yeah spend about the same. But at the end that car would be worth less than a original.

yeah we snagged it up pretty quick. Now we looking at the white rx2 on ebay and that cosmo sport but that will be a while until we decide on it.

Anyone interested in a super clean Starlet? Roller or all new 13b/weber setup? lmk need to make room.

 

Your rx3 is beutiful i hate to see it go and it is not even mine .

 

Its not going anywhere!! lol gonna finish her up this winter.

 

hey Diego... did you drive it home from Durham or trailor it?? it would have been a blast to drive it that far...

 

We had it shipped here, i was gonna go pick it up on a weekend and drive it back. But 14hrs on hwy would of left a mark on the car.

 

yeah, i understand that... but just think at all the heads you would have turned on the way... that car is awsome!!! do you think that is orginal paint??? it looks amazing if it is

 

Yes it would of been awesome! next year i plan to go to Puerto Rico and pick one up and drive it all the way here. Im gonna take 2 weeks and like 15k and go buy one or two. And drive one back. Never been down south east so it will be a adventure in a mazda!! lol

Yes everything about the car is original. We have papers since day 1 with add-ons from mazda dealership. Owner was superb at keeping all the records. Has sticker on dash from 1989 when engine was rebuilt at 67k miles.

 

what you asking for the starlet???if you dont mind me asking
