Good god, you didn't get much of a crx with all that rust.

If you fix it, we must see.

I got the same rims. XSI Rims specifically.

Looks hot on a rex

 

Good Luck with the build

 

xsi rims? these are 92-93 gsr rims.

You need to probably check the underside of the car and probably fix some spots under the car too.

Keep up the work and ....................................

Damn, you a really bringing this Crx back to life , nice work man

 

Good work man...like the rims.
Its funny it seems that everytime I see somebody replace a door it always turns out the door they find is red!, happened to me too!

 

good luck restoring it ,cant wait to see more updates... man im glad i live in florida lol

 

not feelin' the wheels and they don't look like you taped them off very well.

glad that you're trying to save a crx though.
