My dad bought this car off a guy that hit a guard rail with it and surprised me with it. He told me that he would "hire me by the hour" to fix it up for him. So i figured that through the process of restoring it might be interesting and show that hustling cars is definitely the way to go.

What I'M dealing with



first brought home





damage close ups once brought into the garage to start work.


The strip down!!

now the shaping of the inside of the trunk.



PUTTTYYYYYYYYY

Wait, so you're "restoring" it and then selling it? Like, Flip That Import?

Not bad.
Any experience with paint / bodywork?
If you plan to repaint it black, or any dark color for that matter, good luck with that, dark colors are difficult to get perfect from my experience.

flip the import FTW!

aojtin

yeah i restored a black crx i know all about the headaches of paint not matching. thats why in the end i just got the whole thing painted and thats what im doing with this one.
