here is the CRX my grandpa gave me, sorry no interior shots. That looks better than the exterior. There are two pictures of the rust spots in the left rear quarter panel. Tell me what you think of it for a free first car. It definetly needs to be clay-barred and polished up. I will do that after i have those rust spots fixed. It might even get a coat of paint, any suggestions? I think red or black, or something exotic. I like the House of Kolor stuff a lot. And those wheels if anyone wants them will "someday" be for sale. What do you guys think I could get for em? like 150?

you have to put the image adress in between the img and the /img

 

Alright I fixed the link, sorry about that it was my first time posting photos. Also, thats my dirtbike in the photobucket ****, just ignore that, I was posting those pictures on another forum. Later guys and let me know what ya think, be honest and remember it didnt cost a dime so....

 

 

those rust spots are not bad at all

you are very lucky to have that as a first FREE car
if you gona paint it i would keep it the factory color

 

What is the name of that color red from Honda? I was considering factory red for a repaint, what's the technical name for that, and where could I get it mixed up in that shade?

 

Milano Red

Someone Correct me if i'm wrong

Sure I'll correct you. Its Rio Red

 

Looks good. I would straighten it up a little bit and then just drive and enjoy it. Those wheels might fetch $150, but probably a lot less than that

 

BTW Rio Red is R-63 in the honda book (pretty sure) . Its been a while since my car was Rio Red

 

Man... just looked at your album. The car is really nice and as soon as you can remove the lil moulding that is in your rear wheel wells. That strip holds alot of water/dirt/salt.

Your car kinda makes me miss red. Oh and you can also get some bumper black paint to freshen up all that trim.

 

nice come up on that Si!! keep it clean!

 

oh and keep her red. if you want it to stand out a bit, just repaint it the stock honda red but add some pearl into it.

 

have any plans nice crx looks clean just like mine was when i first got it sept mine was black

Your lucky enough to get a free car, period. Let alone as your first car. and then the fact it's a clean CRX is like the greatest thing in the world. If I were you I'd be changing my underwear right now</TD></TR></TABLE>

thats an 88, pillar mounted seat belts.

but yea congrats on your new car, if you stick around on these forums, there's a lot to learn, and it wont be long before you start POURING money into this, just giving you a headsup for a very important part of your life

woah...who said that, i've never seen an OEM USDM Si, or any crx, with color matched mirrors or door handles or any trim...

my canadian Si did indeed have color matched door handles and the mirrors, now i dont know if that was an OEM canadian thing or just someone painted them before i got it, but i do believe the canadian Si-Se's came with the matched mirror/door handle...

 

^You seriously did that?

Clean rex! I'll buy it off ya

 

thanks for all the compliments guys. I love this little car, and will even more once she gets cleaned up. I was looking at that Duplicolor bumper paint to use on the trim? is that a good idea or not? I know a guy with a body shop that wants to help me out with it. I have decided to keep it Rio Red and stil havent decided what wheels. First is to fix the paint and the rust.


P.S. goCRXgo, I did flip out when he said it was mine, but then he had a tuneup done to it with clutch and belts and waterpump, brakes and everything else. Actually old gramps is pretty cool.

 

Looks nice..Thats what I love about old people,,They have the car serviced all the damn time and dont mess(rice it up) with the car..I bet you even have a book full of the services and everything..and factory manuals,,Damn you're lucky..

I swear Id trade my B16a crx for a bone stock crx like that..To many problems with these "project cars"

 

awww I want that car so bad. Lucky find. clean 88 crx si's are hard to come by and Id trade my red 91 si in a second.

 

that car is mint
