sold my dd 2004 chevy but brings me to my new project and future daily commuter
a 2000 crv auto awd 200k+ miles. saved it from getting junked well my wife bought it as a gift as soon as see found out it was getting junk. i alwasy wanted one but could never find one for the price i wanted because i always have so much plans that it didnt make sence to buy one for 3-4k when i am just gonna tear it down and get to wrenching.


plans was to just start tear it down and slowly put it back together but ran accros a grate deal another 2000 auto awd crv with recently swapped jspec b20 motor and tranny as well as new tires and new front bushings. interior is in excellent shape and its dark gray much better than the light gray from the white crv. only problem with the donor crv is the amount of rust, rust was every where what a shame because the crv drove well and paint was still ingrate shape


both sides





and thihs it is the donor stripped of everything possiable
moto/tranny/driveline/rear end/full interior front doors all windows/window motors
so long story short i have double off evrything what was junk i tossed it and with the local craigslist i was able to make some extra cash





that was my daily


the fure plans is
full interior swap to dark gray
motor and trans swap
front control arms
repaint the suv white
turbo charging it but havent ran across to much info on boosted auto , boosted crv are 5speeds if anyone knows a link to a build of boosted out crv feel free to post the link my only concers are with tunning as the system has to stay obd2
