check the classfides

and welcome to the world

 

good luck finding any 87s, not many people rock the old schools... your best bet is salvage yards....

 

Welcome, like they said, check the local yards. I can think of a couple 1st gen CRX's in the yards around here.
Also, maybe try putting your request for stuff in your signature like this:

eyah tanks for da info

 

Not to **** on your parade or anything, but how thoroughly have you checked the rest of the car for rust? I ask because the rear Panhard Rod mount on the chassis is one of the more susceptible areas on the early CRXs. It rusts, it breaks off, and you have no decent anchoring point for an important suspension piece. It can be fixed, but from what I gather, it's not cheap or easy, unless you're a good welder.

I've seen and heard of people tossing the car when the mount breaks, and just starting over with a better example. That's why I bring it up - check that point and make sure you're not just throwing money at a car that's going to cause you heartache.

If the Panhard Rod mount isn't rusted, then you're one lucky dude. Even in Texas, it's not uncommon to see 'em rot. Junkyards will be your best bet for the doors and rear fenders, but be aware that the lower plastic parts are likely to be broken or *very* brittle. And if you don't need front fenders (they're plastic on the first-gen CRX), be glad; I've never seen a usable front fender in a junkyard. I had to buy new ones for my '87 CRX Si, and I bought the cheapie aftermarket parts from Certi-Fit (henceforth to be known by me as "Sorta-Fit"!). They're okay, I guess, for $100 each, but if I had it to do over again I'd probably shell out the $250 each that Honda wanted. Ouch!

Oh, and welcome to Honda-Tech. For more info on first-gen CRXs, check out http://www.redpepperracing.com/. There are a ton of knowledgeable 1G CRX/3G Civic gurus that hang out over there. When I need good solid info on my '87, that's where I usually head.
