Default My CRX - A new beginning - not 56k safe...

Just here to post a "Journal" like thread. This is a 1988 Honda CRX HF. I have big plans for this sucker, since im keeping it.

Plans:
Paint it white, with black moldings.
Swap a y8 head and add VTEC
get some nice stock rims, SI possibly.
Get a complete si interior

More as it comes.

Pics when it was for sale:
























car wasnt painted by me, dont say anything about it.

As she currently sits:







I really need some JDM tails...looks weird, doesnt it?






^^ are those even SI seats? i got them off a 89 si.


Thats hella dirty tranny. Its going to be cleaned.


^ have to take out tranny to get resurfaced, i just need an adapter so i can use my air gun.



SO far i have fixed the rear bumper, and bumper support. removed all of the tint the windows had. Put a passenger si seat, since the driver seat was all torn. stripped the interior. replaced all screws with brand new shiny screws.

More to come.

did just a new bumper support give that much improvement to the fit, or did you have to fix the bumper also?

i just fixed the damaged fender. Its funny, because all we did was heat it and hammer it out. Bumper came off its "track" so i had to put it back in its place, luckily the bumper wasnt bent or cracked.

I just got my 91 si taillights, my si dash, stock side skirts, a carpet, new wheels (rolling on 2 of them, because one of the new ones has a leak )


Also, the car is getting painted from the inside this weekend, and hopefully next weekend i will paint it all.

I will post pics real soon.

Also, im going b16a, so this sucka is going to be pulling.
