Default My CRX Project... lets see how this goes!!

Well I picked up the shell last night came with alot of extra stuff. and still going back to pick up more later this week..

Anyways. I got the car pretty much gutted. and the person before was starting a wire and brake line tuck..

Today I stripped the car of all the wiring, doors, and fenders. and started the body work. It has norm. honda rust but it looks like it has been tended to before. with some really crapy bondo but here are some pics of what i am working with.

Bring it home


Starting to strip it down and what not

No. I bought my crx when i was 16, a rolling shell and i put a motor in and drove it for a while. then i got a DA teg and shelved the rex and pulled the motor, so its been sitting in my garage for about 3 years now. I have done a couple cool things, nothing major just a rear disc swap and integra break booster, and lowered it. i need to get it going or sell it. its got no rust anywhere. all original paint and body panels, no fixes.
