so recently i picked a 90 std up of a friend b/f. at the time it seemed like a good deal for $200 bucks but turned into a nightmare. when i bought this car it had a brand new pacesetter header and flowmaster in the back so pretty much i bought a exaust and got a free car. The bad was it had cut springs and was primered down and sand and was missing intior


so i cleaned it up even though it had some rust but after rattle caning it i riped out the carpet. i found out the whole floor in the corners was rusted out. i figured screw it ill still drive it for time being so i got it road worthy with new springs and put the exaust on and this is how it turned out




so now its on the raod and the first day i have it out i come around the road to end up hitting a giant bolder and gashing the gas tank open and completly f-ing up the back suspension. So today i bought a 89 crx dx for a 150$ with out a motor and needing fenders and i get to start all over




so now ill swap my motor put the bumpers and lights back in andget rid of the 4 speed and maybe have a half decent car to start building

 

good luck with it man .. always a bitch to start over

 

good luck.

i have the same story also except getting another car. i have a 89 si hatch that i bought for 700 with no motor and interior. i finally got it running. its been about 1 month before it ran and 1 month after. tonight i crashed it hitting the damn island and sign. i spent to much money on it so im thinking to sell it to the junkyard. hahah. damn. good luck man. really. i feel you haha.

 

i was about to say at least the crx is a si but then i seen no sunroof

 

haha......

 

Lol that PIC could be used in the post. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1608353 (DO all crx si's have sunroofs?).. it's got the SI sticker but no sunroof....

 

its actually a dx someone jst put this sticker on it and as for the hatch im using most of the parts of it.

 

At least the rex's body is rust free!

 

dang that sucks. any pics of the wrecked hatch?

 

Damn man hope everything does well. I sold him this crx. I will check back to see how everything is going. Good luck with everything!

 

That rex is rough, but good luck.

 

Good luck with the swap and build!!!
