Default gold_ef's 88 crx dx project thread

i was driving down the street and i saw a crx with shoe polish all over the windows and **** like that parked under a carport and i kept seeing it everyday for about 6 months, never moved or anything, so one day i decided i would go talk to them and see if they would sell it, after looking at it some more up close, it was dropped with a thermal exhaust, both good things. so i ended up getting the car for 1500 dollars and it has a dohc zc with the zc tranny with intermediate shaft.

it had a dead battery, and a busted radiator, only 2 things wrong with it.
OH YEAH NO RUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one111one!










all cleaned up

engine is coming out this weekend, and im going to clean up the engine as good as i can and then paint it with some of that real shiny aluminum colored paint, and start on a wire tuck.

i work out of town monday-thursday, and i have a worktruck for all that, then i can use the worktruck on the weekends, so i can have some downtime, so imgoing to be doing alot of things to it very soon, but i can only work on it for 3 days a week, and i have a fiance that needs attention too, so im not sure how fast this car will get done
