Right. So. In 2012 I bought myself a birthday present. It wasn't a very good one. Trawling through trademe I found an rx2, a series 3, which seems to be the most common rx2 in whakatane. I'd loved the shape for years (though I'm admittedly more partial to a series 2 but yeah). It was reasonably cheap at the time, though hindsight is a bitch. Bought it sight unseen (fail) under the illusion it was 95% panel beaten. I won't out the guy who owns an online inject/carburetor distribution company out of his house in West Auckland, but yeah, 95% panel beaten in dorkland obvs means 95% bog and 5% rust. Sadface. I'm persistent though (still ask for Le Snacks when mum goes shopping) and I commited to at least getting a motor in it, doing a burnout and then probably retiring it to be a dog kennel (or sell it to sr1600 who, with no space available at his house, wants to turn it into a track car). To date I've stripped it back to nothing, know all/most of it's imperfections (shitty patch panels, holes, panels that were tacked on to hide the original panel which could've easily been repaired, though I fear what is under the faux sill panels), have picked up a bunch of spares from a gc in papamoa, have picked up a 13b chur bo block from sr1600 (which came out of my brothers car a couple years ago to make space for the 20b that lives under the stairs) and I trawl the internet daily for cool shit that I'll probably never get around to. Plan is to finish replacing the shitty repair work and get a straight (enough) body, then probably do some dumb shit and cut it up to make something cool that will make me smirk like a special person (mum says I'm special).
