since my last post about the muffler i have bought one the N1.. and ive just cut the old one off the car...

oh yeh had to take off the back bumper to..


this is what it used to look like..



i had rust andeverything..

so i grinded it all down and used the navel jelly on it..

and actually got it lookin pretty good so far the hard parts done atleast..


i glassed it after that..


shaved my antenna...


LOOK AT THE RUST... its amazing the back bumper was even staying on..


this is how its lookin right about now...
u can see the back wheel well has been through alotta work buts its coming together slowly.


replaced the plugs with NGK they prolly hadnt been changed since 87..


redid the ground wire to my valve cover and painted my valve cover PLUS went and had a piecve of muffler pipe bent to match my old air filter for my carb. cause im makin MY OWN cold ait intake for this car.. then i went and had that piece of pipe powercoated grey.


i know this looks like ****.. but thats why people make sandpaper lol..
this sits RIGHT ON TOP of the carb. and the hood closes no prob..



fixed my fenders and shaved the lines in them...


and i mean they was alotta cracks in them fenders i went to the automotive tore in town and bought that epoxy that cost round 23 dollars.. and filled em and sanded it smooth and they are like new it really helps fix cracks. on the inside i took a soldering gun and like melted the plastic back together cause noones going to see the backside of the fender and i just epoxied the front. look how it turned out..


oh I ALSO... shaved the line on my front piece to make it look like a 2nd gen..in a way instead of having that ait hole in the front
before..

after...


i fiberglassed it so i wouldnt waste so much bondo filling it in..



thats as far as i am on it right now... i havent had time to sand it..
the last few pics of the engine..ive just redone the battery terminals,new 8 gauge wire to the starter..new ground wire ran..just the small stuff...


on the days it warm i get up there and iddle around o nthe body work.. ive pretty much got the drivers side DONE.. just a lil knicks and knacks there.right here is how its sittin up there right now..


ive got tons of parts waitin to be put o nif the ywould jsut hurryt and get here.. i got new blue plug wires.. and i got 88 black projectors with black corners, im prolyl goin to have to fabricate in.. lol my job for this car is to ATLEAST get it lookin like an 88.. i got my muffler just not welded on yet. i got the APEXI N1.. it was like 30 bucks. ichanged the oil in the car and it was BLACK... then i got to lookin on the car and it said your next due date for an oil change was sometime in january of 93... SOOOOOoooooo lol... but yeh if u all want me to ill keep u updated and posting project pics as i go along if not.. just bash me for wanting a loud muffler like last time im sorry i just like that kinda stuff.

wow man...thats a lot of work you are putting into that thing!

 

Not half bad.

Do you think the lights will be worth it? I think a carb to FI conversion and swapping in of a D16a6 would be much more enjoyable.

 

im havin trouble like theres SO MUCH i wanna know about this car i dont... i mean i dont know hardly anything bout engines heck i didnt even know what a distributer cap was when i started on this thing.. i jsut knew u know how to change oil a tire or whatever if it needed or when it needed to be done.
my question for u all is..
what kinda engine LOOKING AT IT from my pics do i have sittin in it right now? is it a d16 or whatever see i dunno know that stuff..
and i mean another thing is.. i need an alternator.. but when i go down there... to order one they say to me nippendenso or mitsubishi and im like all i jknw its it s 1.5L carbed lol and i mean i need to know to get it changed.. im changing every thing in the car lie new wires or whatever but i mso afraid to go about pulling wires they wont get back to there original spots.. i mean i relaly am a nervous nelly when it comes to this stuff the car runs right now it just wont keep charge it needs an alternator. but anyways my other questions are liek i got to lookin on jegs.com or summitracing and they offer a hedman header for an 87 model CRX but i got to lookin at it said Si model and im like mm u know id love to have that but im afriad to get it if it dont line up or something. and i got to looin on ebay found me a 35 dollar alternator but it said it was for the Si model WOULD that alternator had worked for my model.. see i dunno if i own an DX or HF.. i cant tell.. im not really all that good I SOUND LIEK A LIL PANSY who doesnt know WTF is goin on but i really would love to find out.. i didnt get that manul with my car id liek to know if my 88-91 projectos headlights would fit a 87..its to late anyways ive done ordered them ill HAVE to make em fit o nthere with a bracket of some kind. but yeh if someone could help me out with this.. id GREATLY appreciate it.

 

88-91 projectors will not fit. You should check out http://www.redpepperracing.com

 

old school rex
cant wait to see it when its done

 

I would definetly scratch the whole projector headlight thing and go the motor swap route this thing is a classic you dont wanna rice it out.
