lol well i got this car about a week ago from a friend for just about free only thing is he said he has to look for the title i said ok well just call me when u find it well about 3 days ago i got a 89 crx si for just about free it was stripped well i figured i would just swap all the parts from the dx and put them on the si so after a LONG night of work i got all the parts swapped, part of the reason why i did this was because i diddnt think he would find the title, well after the si was just about dont he calls me and tells me he found the title i was like **** well later that evening i found out that the crx si was recently wrecked in the back and none of the brakes work so i was like dam that was basically a huge waste of time so now im in the process of putting this one back together so i thought since its all apart i might as well paint it and stuff so thats the story.......

Throw a motor in there and call her good

J/K. Looks like a fun project. Nothing like building a car from the ground up all by yourself.

Good luck with it. I just got done restoring my EF, it was a blast!
