lol, No **** hahah that is funny.

The wheels are gone, and I have to take off the camber kit as well. The car will be getting painted soon, and I think there is a little rust that will need looking at.

The urethane bushings cam in for the new upper and lower front control arm but it is a bitch to get the old ones out.

The white one needs more work then I thought and It's getting hard trying to find the time. I am also trying not to let my self get into that hole depression stage, where you feel like it's never going to get done and you want to sell it all. I am just going to have to take my time and keep going.


The white car is going to be painted a brownish color with red or dark cooper Group-N's. I may keep the body kit, just because it cost to much to try and get all the door peaces for 2 cars and the kit don't look that bad.

there are quick tricks to get those bushings out. I get a shitty 1/4 inch drill bit and drill holes around in the rubber of the bushing. then twist rip the metal sleeve out with pliers. then hacksaw blade on a sawsall recip saw a slot into the the outside sleeves. they practically fall out. then squish the polly in with a small vice ,and hammer the sleeve in. the rear trailing arm ones suck i end up carving the rubber out with a new sharp utility knife.

 

I burned the old rubber bushing out, but the metal sleeve is my prob. I don't have a sawsall.

 

Here is what I am working with, not done just yet.





this is FUN!!!

 

Well playing with the white one this sat I found something I am not happy about at all!!!

this is a mother


Found out that my blue CRX already had a camber kit on it.


That's all for now. Got the kit up for sale so I can get the stock stuff back.

I came over to this forum because I always loved CRX's. I own a 92 RS Integra, but just wanted to see what was up on this forum and to check out some CRX builds. This was the first thread that I read and all I can say is WOW! I read this entire thread and found it very refreshing. You are quite an inspiration.

I don't want to blow too much smoke up your ***, but you are the 'Jack of all trades' and Master of many. Your attention to detail is amazing. You are very gracious in receiving compliments and sound like the type of person this world needs more of.

Your a rare breed these days and I just think this thread and your personality very refreshing, and wish you all the luck on this build. Your kids are beautiful and if you spend as much time and effort on your family, as I am sure you do, I am confident they will have very bright futures. Good luck to you and yours!

 

wow, Thank you very much for all your kind words!!!

This is with out a doubt my passion. I pick up things by doing not by watching. I painted a car once like 8 times just to get it right. Now it only takes ones.

There is a lot of negativity in these forms and I have yet to get any here, and that makes me seem like I am doing something right.

Again thanks for all the kind words, and we need more people like you as well on H-T.

what color you going with thte car (i didnt see it in the thread )

but i think you should go black unless you paint the car black then red wouldnt look to bad!

 

The car is going to be white. This way I can skip on some of the body work.

 

right right , umm i say black would look nice

red would be to flashy i think for a white car i think red can be only pulled off on black
IMO but you knwo there are always acceptions

 

Damn.
Very impressive body work

 

Thanks guys, I am going on VAC here in the next 2 days, so I will not be back on here for 7 days after that. I should have time to get some work done.

See ya then.
