Put some effort in it bro, make the car your own.. just do it with passion not ebay </TD></TR></TABLE>

WTF, what's so unique about your build? dr_latino999 is doing essentially the same thing as you. Back off the guy! It sounds like he's off to a good start, he has a lot of work on his hands with the condition of that car. Ebay may be a crap hole but sometimes it's a good way to go when you are strapped and in need. I got my dizzy on ebay as well as all my new front end parts. Some times it's just a necessity. Hell even CRX bart got his front end parts off ebay.

 

he just didnt read the thread he jsut looked at the pictures, and assumed i love rice

I buy nearly everything off of ebay, its the only place i can find parts at reasonable prices just dont buy anything from them that your car and life depend on unless its a name brand from a name brand seller

 

You took out the pix??

what do you guys think of this traciton bar do you think its anygood, or just crap bc its ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

suggestions or does anyone one knwo where i can get a name brand one?

 

update: today was nicer out so i removed the other side of the sideskirt and removed some rust and sprayed rustrepellant on it

also cleaned it up a bit





as you can see i need the side trim now,

i need to find a parts car but there is nothign around here
and junk yards charge full price for parts over here also


imma have a stab at wire tuck in a couple weeks when it gets warmer out

 

ok I was going to say pull the motor and burn it to the ground but it looks like your finally starting to head in the right direction.

Keep it up man, somewhere under there is a tahitian green pearl CRX that looks to have minimal rust, definately worth saving from rice... getting to be a rare car. when you dicide to "unshave" your side moldings the best body filler (bondo) remover is an electric grinder with a twisted wire wheel. with one of those it would only take about an hour and a half to do both sides, but your gonna need a frickin asbestos removal suit to keep it off you. nice thing about the wire wheel is that it will shred that bondo but removes very little metal so you won't be grinding holes in your car. If it was up to me though, I'd look real hard for a new set of doors, epecially if you want your doorhandles back.

 

yeah, so ive been sick for a week and today ive jsut gotten up really for the first time since last sunday


ive decided im not going to wait anymore for the weather to get better and im going to be stipping down the entire outside of the car from the bondo and to bare metal and im going to finally find out what im going to be workign with


i hope when they took the trim they didnt weld in metal so i can get my trim back

anyways this might take a long time and i should be able to post soem pictures up of my progress

i hope it isnt that bad underneath

i kwno the car has been in a bad hail storm (previous owneer told me which is a buddy of mine)

well see how it turns out

 

after you clear, wait about a week and buff it with medium rubbing compound, that will give it a shine or mirror like surface. it wont be clear without it.

thank

but thats is a long ways from where i am right now

i have to stip the outside down to bare metal there is probably inch thick of bondo i have to remove

i dont think the body shop that did this shoudl call them self a (body)shop more of a sculptor for all the bondo work they do

anyone about the colors?

help me decide on white?!

 

White is a hard color to keep clean...I guess black is too. I really like how the dark gray looks. That is just my 2 cents though. Its you that has to live with the color.
