I found a nice shell to put a engine into.





Goods:
Full Bodykit
Full Exhaust
Ready to Paint
Full Adjustable Coilovers
Wired For b18
Full Interior Set
Price

bads:
cracked window
sideskirts but their staying on the car

So let me try to explain to you how bad the interior was when i got the car. It was blue before so i could see the blue comming through the black that it is now. And the guy who originally sprayed it didnt sand or anything so its all rough. I had to pull every dash piece out and severly sand it down to smooth then spray it with black viynl dash paint. It didnt turn out to bad.

2 coats of black and 3 coats of clear so the black doesnt wear off.

When i got the door panels off the drivers side had an ugly tear in it, so i cut it out with a razor blade then got some bondo and thinned it out, molded it into the tear and it filled it nicley so i got mint door panels again

Meh... the sides aren't at least. There is a slim to none chance that the front is a version 1 mugen kit, but it's more than likely Wings West.

At least it was cheap. It's getting harder and harder to find a CRX out there that hasn't rusted or been raped.

thats what i was thinking because the front and back bumper are alot thicker then the sideskirts. the car was previously a bodyman's car thats why theirs no rust on it

Good find on the car, advice is get the kit off there for good, but just .02 you have any plans with the motor, or just keep it stock.

Simple fix... find some ricer that wants to trade. Even up. It'll be a good learning experience for you.

Make sure you look the rest of the car over too... if he lied about the body, who knows what else he lied about.
