so after a lot of frustration and banging i got the eg radiator mounted in place...

a for sure DIY job-
old ef radiator-


new eg radiator-


both dem-


all the room cleared out-




with the new one mocked in-




will have pics of final DIY setup/ instal tomarro

 

Keep it up man.

KEEP IT UP.

I saved my rex. It took alot of time and work but it was totally worth it. I ran a stock motor in my 88 and people still said it was a sweet car.

I'm right now in a middle of swapping my '88 motor to the b16a2 that came from a '99 civic si.

 

Good job man looks awesome!

Good Luck

MattyJ

 

i have to saw i applaud your effort ...the cancer on your crx is some of the worst rust i'VE EVER SEEn ....good luck man

would like to see under carriage pics

 

holy SH-- that's a lot of rustyness!

How are you going to treat those? Let me kno

I've got some minor rusting in my rexxie and using regular rust treatment stuff. Jus wondering if there are better alternatives.

 

I saw that you wanted to replace the exhaust. If the original one is in good shape ill buy it from you!!!

 

yeah i would love to sell it but it has holes all through it so it wouldn't really be of use to any one...

 

eg radiator finally fully mounted in after some trouble. of hitting the hood.

so i had to cut out some of thee hood skin. still looks crapy but once i touch it up it'll look better.





mocked up the front bumper for now.

 

man i remember having a project like that

although thats a lot of rust

its nice when you get small steps it really feels like your making good progress

im in for the results

 

I just did a similar rebuild as far as the rust goes. i had to replace both rockers and partial quarters . check it out maybe it can help.

yeah i've seen your build previously.. its a great build up and thanks for the refresher

 

Nice progress. I love your dedication and your attention to detail with your project. I hope this turns out well. I'll be keeping an eye out from time to time.

 

Dido your attention to detail is awesome and im sure it will pay off greatly when your all done .

 

yeah thanks for the support and motivation guys. i mean im fifteen so i cant even drive it for another year. so theres no reason for me to bypass any details.

plus i cant wait til i get my license so i can just cruise around and embaress all the stupid ricers in town.
