Instagram: www.instagram.... Abandoned RX3 sedan found by @AutomotiveKarnage. Now 2 weeks away from being road ready. #2jz #rx3 #20b #barnfinds #summernats
I absolutely love how this looks so beaten up Jay. Looks like it's lived a thousand lives and about to live one more with you.. I won't be at Summernats, but I can tell you this.. Your RX3 will be getting more attention that a lot of the top 20 cars there.. Have a blast and good luck with finishing it off. Cheers Benny.
Absolutely, thank you. You Aussies with that donk cartoon fitment makes you wonder why is everyone doing that?! It's just plain ugly. Ruined a well done car with poor stance.
first time actually watching ya channel, but all I'm seeing is insane amounts of brains, you 2 are bloody intelligent, definitely gonna be here more often
Saw this beast on DJs car trailer when he left town to begin its journey to your workshop I froffed back then and still froffing lol love the angle on this build it’s keeping its outback heritage 🤙🤙🍻
Man IV been waiting for this build. Watched automotive carnage dig it out of the bush and sell it to you glad you didn't do anything with the paint or dints, can't make petina like that . The braps are going to sound sick with that exhaust system
Fkn love the rough body with the patina, the header n exhaust works rad asf🤘 Done seen alot of Rx3's in my time but this is probably going to be my favourite💯 just so raw❤️
love it ...i have started buying so many panels and parts for my 808 she is just as rough as your girl seeing yours come together makes smile knowing mine is just as rough right now ...love it mate top job
Great video, lots of memories there I grew up in the golden age of rotaries…..early to mid 90’s when they were just a car and not the price of a house… my second car was a three owner RX3 GS savanna coupe. Looking forward to the next video 👍👍👍👍
The rx3 is one of my favorite cars and to see this gem in your hands I know it’ll be great do good alongside it and I love the patina and dents they add so much character!
I had a 76 RX4, 13B 5-Speed. Put in a stainless header and exhaust with a turbo (brand) muffler. It was really fast. Not 20B with a 6-speed fast but fast for a little street rocket and it launched with very little tire spin. I used to leave many V8 powered cars in the dust.
Loving the build, I have a capella tucked away in the corner in similar condition to this. I thought about doing something like this to it one day when I get some more shed space -massive motivation right there -thanks 👌
Makes me wish i still had mine. Exactly the same model but in red. Blown rotary so swapped to a 1690 Millington crossflow. Omg i miss the old girl now seeing this video.
I had a rust free Mazda 808 a few years back don’t think they was worth anything, got offered a rx3 coupe for $800 at the same time didn’t think they was worth anything wish I got it now might see if they still have it after watching your video 👌 great content mate awesome builds and quality
My mate bought that exact same car, baby blue 10a sedan off the original owner (old lady)still with plastic covering on arm rests in mint nick for $1300 in 1999. How things have changed
@@lowstandards5269 it’s good there’s still examples around that it isn’t sacrilegious to cut up and modify like you’re doing. Good luck with the rest of the build mate!
@lowstandards5269 Jay mad props on the build style 👌 The Rat/Retro Mod style is such a cool way of preserving the unique character of these of beauties while bringing them into the current day with new tech and parts that creates these slick rides. Loving the new vid brother. SA Gr8 M8 🚙💨 🤙😁
@@lowstandards5269 got a new toy added to the collection since last chat. Bought my first Euro car and got into a 3 series E92. I'll have to get off my butt and post a quick vid soon ☺️
Mazda’s a great cars. My uncle recently sold his original 1974. RX4 rotary coupe. Brought it new. back in the day. Still had plastic wrapped seats and door trims
Speaking of heat shields, the later rx4 (and probably other models) had an "exhaust overheat" light on the dash, tied in with a thermostat that sat on the boot floor above the rear muffler. I also recall the boot of the rx4 having a layer of white asbestos-like matting between the metal of the boot floor and the boot PVC mat, also above where the rear muffler was.
Stumbled on this channel Tonight. Great build love the rotors. I’m flabbergasted that new parts are bolted on a rusty body ? I’ll be at Summernats hope to see it.
Looking forward to this build, can't wait to see the look of this thing. I'm no engineer, at 16:09 I would stich weld those factory brackets? both sides .
I hope you just chuck some coloured bulbs in the taillights and leave the smashed bits. Love it. I couldn't stop myself trying to pull the beak up a little though. No one will notice =)
My high School buddy saved up for a 70-71 cuda. Told his parents they said no 17 birthday 1975 came his grandparents got him an RX3 little did they know what kind of car it was.coupe in a week he had every hot rod part for that time NA. But we screwed with the Trans ams on the boulevard running low 13 high 12..
What’s the situation for you guys there with regards to putting that car back on the road. Do you have some sort of test? In the U.K. we have the MOT test, although it is not obligatory for vehicles over 40 years old.
The steering arm is original if it had the heat shield on it for the joint, a lot got ripped off or swapped out for 555 ones etc that didn’t have them. Totally agree on the steering boxes - what 86 bits do you use though? I was looking to use an mx5 rack in a 1300
