whats up guys...just got another CRX for a cheap price. Its a 89 Si with a B16 w/ YS1. Now i got the car last week and noticed that the trany was rubbing the radius rod. Actually, was more like resting on it. Anyway, so i go out and look at it today and notice that this **** is fucked. Check it....









Now right now this is my only car and i was planning on using it everyday. I cant even believe i drove it like that....Anyway, you guys think that this is worth saving? Will it be safe if i can get it welded back on? I dont know what to do....what do you think?

If its not worth saving, i'll part it out and get something else, but if it is...i'd like to save it.

thanx

It can be welded but I would see if anything else is damaged first and also tryto find out how something that catastrophic happened.

 

the car was proly wrecked at some point...not real bad. No frame dammage as far as i can see. This looks more like the welds just gave way, but i'm not an expert so i dunno. I got this car from a friend for $900 so it wont be a total loss if i decide to part it, but i'd like to save it.

It doesnt look that bad. When in doubt replace. Drip weld it back. Weld it around the edges.

 

keep it dont look to bad.

 

i'd like to see some more feedback first, but i got a friend ready to come over after work and take a look at it. He's a welder by trade so i trust him to do an excelent job and not half *** it.

thanx for the input

alright well everything was welded back on, and it's stiffer then a ****. just hope it lasts. For real though, my friend did a great job and put 100% into making it right so i feel thats its gonna be safe for a long time.

thanx
