So i sold my Del sol sir before the summer and i wanted to work on, so I bought my favorite honda of all time. I must say the body on this car is pretty good. Its hard as hell to find a CRX in Buffalo NY with out rusted out rear Qt's. This car came from AZ. so the body is Honda Cancer free. I plan on putting it back to stock, with maybe a nice front lip and some nice 15" rims. I think im gonna paint it black, but i do like the factory teal color. The car cake with tokico struts, and a 98 D16y7 motor with 50,XXX miles on it. Interior is a little beat but thats ok. Here are some pics.

 

you have a hatchback passenger corner light.

 

Ya I know, I plan on getting a whole new front end. I already got a new hood and driver fender.

 

That line on the drivers side quarter looks like a bondo line or a scratch?

 

good luck on the build man keep the pics coming

 

nice

 

Its all metal, the person who had it before had two racing stripes and chrome wheel well caps or what ever they are. No bondo on this car. Should be a good project.

 

better project car then mine

 

We will see when its done. I should have pics up by the end of teh weekend of the car stripped. Thinking about painting it like this http://www.falkentire.com/main.htm wht do you think. Oh its the third slide.

 

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pick up your new project...

 

good luck. build a nice rex!!!

 

Have fun!

 

$700, Not a bad price at all, consider the struts and motor alone, and you cannot find a used CRX in NY without somekind of ROT.

 

not bad

 

Nice find glad your saving it. Can't wait to see progress.

 

My input is to paint it back to the original color. We already have a ton of Black CRX's.

 

That green to blue color

Paint it the stock green...I love that green.

 

dude, that black on teal color is NASTY! Either paint it back to original color, or have it painted the right way any color you choose, in the mean time, dont open your door or hood in daylight Other than that, great find for a great price, gl.

 

^ I cant help that its black on green, i bought it that way. I have been thinking about keeping it the teal color.

 

LOL wth are you talking about, thats one of the best CRX i seen in a while compared to some "others" i seen....

 

Agreed. Good find on something from the RUST BELT.

 

are you kidding me? Did you look between the doors? LOL, no seriously, I am not bashing the vehicle itself, just the primer job, seriously, that's hideous, contrast wise, that teal with black, anyway, I'm done, before someone takes it the wrong way, it's still a good shell you know? The swap looks clean, from what I could tell, so yeah.

 

Dontcha hate it when soemone things rattle can primer is the ****....

we had to sand the **** outta our shell on the 88 hatchback to get a good coat of primer down...

kid did the same thing.. walmart 88 cent flat black...

 

Ya, I have a **** load of sanding to do. The kid that had it before me used it as a DD, there was racing stripes down the middle of it and everybody wanted to race him, so he flat blacked it. Oh well should be fun sanding.
