Ant's latest RX-3

[db2boy]

Folks,
If anyone is interested I have pics of my latest RX-3 when it was collected today.

No engine, a couple of small dents in roof, smashed front screen, but apart from that, she is very solid with only 2 small patches to weld in on the lower chassis, new new front wings, complete interior and all other genuine parts intact.


Thanks

Ant

Nice work mate. Look forward to seeing one or two of your growing flock up and running ASAP :)

[db2boy]

Thanks guys - that one is back of the line at the moment tho!

[HI RPM RX3]

looks the goods mate. looks pretty complete. what about interior parts? they all there?
you got some work cut out for you. :D

[db2boy]

Thanks!


Compared to project car that one is mint :)
Yes interior is all there, I have a lot of old skool spares as well so if anything is too badly damaged etc should be able to sort.

Nice...! Same as mine, including the colour (does that blue have an official name by chance?).

Are you the same Ant that went to Japan last year and met up with the NZ guys?

[db2boy]

Thanks - yes, I dont have the info with me atm - I call it baby blue normally.

Yes I am, and who is this? :)

Tony from MREC NZ... mates with Darryl Monk, Shane and all those guys. And Carl (UK) helps find me 10A parts as well :)

Good luck with the project...!!!

[db2boy]

Ah hi Tony :)

Can you send me Darryl and Shanes emails please? I lost their cards during building work on the house :(

Yes Im good friends with Carl, not stepping on Carl's shoes ('cause they are big!) but I can also help you with 10a parts if Carl gets stuck.

Thanks

Who's saying my feet are BIG?
It's just that yours are small!
Only kidding.LOL
Yes Tony, Ant and I are good mates.

We have about 10 old skool Rex's between us.
kind regards
Carl

I'm catching up - I'm on my 6th RX-2!

[db2boy]

My feet are not small - I just checked and they are perfectly in proportin to the rest of me!

10 old skools and counting........and piles of parts!

Got offered an R360 the other day, not a rotary I know but sure it could be coverted for a laugh - could be my little shop around :)

hey tony

what make are the wheels on that car
they look nice ... have seen a picture of a white rx2 with the same ones ... are they new or old wheels from 70-80's?

[fragglepoop]

oops wrong picture

try again

[re10]

Not sure actually :confused: 15 x 7, good off-set and don't weigh heaps... I think that they are an old Ford wheel. You can still get 15 x 8 for cheap which may be worth a look if I did not have millions of other things to do to the car.

I think that they do suit the car - old school all the way :cool

[Martiny]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! That RX-2 is beautiful! More pics please!!!!!!

[20B_boy]

Damn straight, that is gorgeous...

I think the '2 coupe is my fave old skooler, may be the R100 too - as its just sooo cute :)

Not that I'd kick a '3 coupe out of my garage of course!

That white one is a real delight. Shame we dont have this kind of class of old cars over here atm :(

[Carl]

Then do something about it Rich!

I would if I could, but I HAVE to get the FD running first - other wise I'll be kissing my n#ts good bye - she'll take to me with a blunt spoon or a meat tenderiser if I announce I have *another* car on its way! I have a couple of garages to clear out first too!

One day...soon? ish?!

Besides, a couple of others have several cars they already have in their possession that could be rather tasty in next to no time I'm sure :)

[fragglepoop]

sorry no more pics of the white car... got them off the net anyway so maybe more out there.... cardomain or some such website...

but i do have pics of my latest paintjob.... was a :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: to mask up but worth the effort...

totally unrelated to mazda but am experimenting with ideas for my 616 coupe...,,, maybe some ghost flames

its a legend car, yamaha 1250 bike engine does 13.8 1/4mile so far,,, but soon we will have nitrous.. tee hee
me and a couple of mates get to use it to do drag stuff and hopefully hillclimbs and sprints soon...
