Save a rex!!!
I like the rims. look good.
I have a black 91 crx si and i wish it wasnt black.
it looks good clean but once you get done washing it, it gets dusty.
But great rebuild!!

thanks about the wheels... sorry to tell you but the a/c parts arent really in any condition to be re-used. when i took them out i just kinda threw them around...also i never had a cruize delete. mine never had cruize to begin with, other than the wires that im removing.

Man the rust on that thing is unbelievable, I've never seen it so bad. Its going to be so much better once you get new metal in there. You get my support on this one. It looks like a fun project.

I would save the money from the rust repair and get a haircut...haha, jk.

Looks like a good start. Good luck on the rust repair. Your going to be better off in the long run buying new rocker panels.

You've got some metal work to do! Keep up the good work for ambition on a car that most others wouldn't have the gusto to attempt rebuilding

Next time use JACK STANDS!!!!

You leaving the car on blocks is asking for someone to get hurt....a kid in my auto school awhile back died when his BLOCKS crumbled while he was under his car
