yoeddynz 15,295 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 I know its against the norm but I now prefer the shape of the Rx2s over Rx3s- even after having owned the 3 coupe. The shape of a 2 is so much better in proportion. And normally I'm not a big fan of 4 doors but the 2's pull it off. I would lovvvvvvvve a Fiat Dino coupe and both being Bertone designed I can see the similarity between them and rx2 coupes. Beautiful. Who polished the carb body?

WLDRX2 1,550 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Hey guys Cheers for starting this. yoeddynz, Escort metal pollishers in Chch did all the chrome and bright work, super happy with all the work they did too. Evan, I can't rememeber exactly how much the dash cost with out digging through all the receipts, but I think about $750, the old dash was a mess, ex aussie, lots of sun damage and cracks. chees-, why simmons ? because I couldn't get any jap wheels in 4x110 at the time, but don't worry, I am still on the hunt for some longchamps. Cheers for the comments guys, I know it's not to everyones taste, a bit too shiney, It's just they way I had always wanted to do a car, but when it is finished it wont be a show pony. I drive the shit out of my cars ( when they go that is ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 649 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Looks amazing with really high standard, even the paint underneith! I know its against the norm but I now prefer the shape of the Rx2s over Rx3s- The shape of a 2 is so much better in proportion I hate the plastic looking crap RX3 tail lights + leaf spring rear end, go the 2!

J-W-G 191 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Very nice Rx2 man. Just wondering why put all this money making it so shiny and show looking condition to just drive it hard and not take it to shows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLDRX2 1,550 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Did the show thing for a couple of years with one of my cars 'cough evo cough' and with a few mates cars, and it didn't really smoke my tyres. Found the show scene to be a bit , meh . Got to many things to do, to pay money to someone so I can stand around all day while they charge people to look at my car. I guess too many hot rod mags as a kid made me like chrome a little too much. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
