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.

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.
