You sir are crazy, probably one of the only dudes on HT that can do whatever to his car and people still give props to.

ken9

Good work and mad props. IT look like a tuff project but i know you will get it done.. Go Canadian power.. LOL!!

phatboycrxhf

lol thanks
lol thanks bud more to come today ,going to pick up some stuff right away

ken9

Curious to know what kind of welding machine are you using there.. I thought i might want to go pick up one at my Local Canadian's tires store.. Soon there will have some of those welding machine on sale..

phatboycrxhf

its hobart handler 140 which is miller brand ,they dont sell miller at cdn tire,but they do sell lincoln welders,my buddy has the 140 in it and hasnt had any issues with it.we shaved and did alot of welding on his ford f150 and the welder never skipped a beat.really when those machines come on sale you cant beat the price.So if i were you i would wait for the 140 to come on sale and not the 125. Or you could go all out and get the 180 which is 220 volt but then you owuld have to make sure you have 220 in your garage

phatboycrxhf

i'm probably going to pick up that lincoln stick welder they have for 400 one of these days ...well when the funds are there haha i use stick alot at work and really you cant beat that price when they come on sale

ken9

I really wanted the Lincoln welders, but it really expensive for my pockets and couldn't afford at the moment. I don't have a 220 volt in garage, only 120 volt. I don't want anything to hardcore in welding. Just for automotive. Do you think the master craft welder will be o.k for the money?

Smokinsax

once you put your old CRX and DA up there I remembered those builds. So yeah, this guy will get the job done for sure.

phatboycrxhf

yeah that little mastercraft one would be fine for a starter welder.but if i were you i would get the argon/gas one,which is pretty much the hobart,the only thing about those welders is fine tuning and the parts used to make them.Not saying it wouldnt last long,but it may not be able to handle what a bigger named company welder could the run time may not be as high has the other brands either,but for little bodywork ,exhausts and what not around the house,it would be worth having

lol thanks guy,i remember you posting a bit in the DA build.thanks for the support (cheers)

few things picked up this morning
paintable seam sealer (color black)

tube cutter grommets and flaring tool (which i had already )allso 120 inches of 3/16 brake line which u can sorta see in the pics

another 80 bucks sitting there :S its stuff like this which makes me wonder why i get rusty cars haha,everyone else starts with minor rust repair and then buys nice parts,but me i dump 1000's into my body and dont get many cool parts haha.oh well still fun

still need a bender though ,might have to wait untill monday after work for that though

phatboycrxhf

another 50 bucks worth of stuff

another pass with the wire wheel ,needs one more ,allso sanded the drivers tower ,needs another coat of filler though

your dedication is amazing! and from the looks of the green crx this will be one amazing batman'd rex too.

I love the quality of your work, but the end results are always well lets just say not my taste. Hope this one turns out a little different.

phatboycrxhf

thanks guy appreciate it
thank you bud,ya i'm not really an OEM kinda guy JDM kinda guy or really a ricer in my eyes.i like them all, so i try and take things ive seen others do and some of my own ideas.Which have probably been done one way or another haha and make them my own.

just love honda's and i find them to be the perfect way to express myself

thanks for checkin out the thread guys




now to let it dry some then we shall spray it with sealer :-) ...back to the strut tower now :-)b

B16-CRX

Cool thread. Most people would have just gave up on so much rust. Great work and its cool to see some fab work on the fiberglass and stuff

phatboycrxhf

thank u .yeah but as you can see for how kinda spun i am,i'm not most people...wait i guess i am because most people in my eyes are right facked haha

glaze (this tower is taking forever)

crappy sealer primer in a can :S better than nothing for now i guess (to cold to spray the good stuff)

thats allso only one coat

Wow man your good!!!!!!

OG Wagon

Obviously we have a smart man right here folks.

As if his fab work wasn't good enough to show this, he buys a 1st Gen CRX and builds it proper BEFORE he starts a 2nd Gen build.

Now, here's a REAL man right here.

Peppers for the win!!!

phatboycrxhf

thanks bro
lmao

drivers side

this is where i hide from the girlfriend ...she will never find me hehe

gettin there,would like to have seam sealer on this sucker before i goto bed
