Default my 88 crx build thread

ok its my turn
i have got a 88 crx dx

this is how i bought it




then i primed it

then i painted it flat black for the winter.
thats me in my costume when we went to go pick up my buddys g/f 89 crx si.
but after that day my head gasket blew.
i replaced that.
in that time i have bought a new exhaust from header back


then a pick of the header i have its 4-2-1

new corners

mods i want to do;
make it back to stock
b18 swap
paint it gloss black
put my interior back together(missing half the ****)
and full suspension work


i'll have more pics soon

about 3 weeks ago i was driving down the highway doing 80 and my hood flew off so i need a new one and this also equels no more hood scoops

Couldn't have said it better.

The parts you are buying are shitty and won't yeild great reward. You get what you pay for and if it ain't broke......

Nice rex man....Needs some TLC, but it has potential. Hood's a bit ricey, doesn't flow with the rest of the kit, but I've seen worse. I'm all about budget builds man, I know what it's like to have big dreams and no money to bring them to life. Just take good care of the car and don't be stupid with what money you spend on it and you'll end up with a sweet ride.
