|
|
Hello to all, my name is Aaron, but everyone calls me Bez and this is the story of my RX-2 RE Sedan project.
I bought this Orange/Multi color RX-2 from a guy in Grande
It has a cut fire wall, but came with lots of spare parts (lights and grills) and best of all, great condition fenders, trunk and bonnet/hood.
After stripping it I realised that I wanted another shell to get the parts I needed
After digging throught the filler the signs of a bad accident reared it head
SO
I went in search of a donor car, and went back to check a guy that has a few RX-2's,3,5's and 7 for one of his RX-2 RE's. and found this white one
this is the new car for the project..

So I got the new white car home and starting repeating the same process, scrapping and stripping the car down to nothing..
engine bay
put on some lights and a spare grill I had to see how it looks
interior
and the stripping begins
test fitted all the chrome
Stripped the engine bay
removed the doors and all wiring
and the rust starts to show it's ugly head, so i hit it with the wire brush and dremel
removed the fenders (which was NOT easy, they were welded on and plastered with 1/4" of filler.
here are the new fenders i'll be using from the orange shell
Nasty surface rust and worse attempt at patching some rust previously
Dog sitting watch
atleast this side looks better
and that's it for what I have done so far, next is off to the sandblasters and then to the patch/panel man. |
