well this is my first honda, and first build.

its a 89 crx si as you already know, i bought it from a friend for 100$. it has 201,xxx miles on it, and has some work done already. but my plans are to restore the body and drop my d16a6 in it and get it running, i eventually want to drop a b16a

90 integra dohc zc motor thats blown.
3 inch catback
headers
energy suspension
thats all i can think of right now


where he messed up the bondo





ripped seats, and dirty interior






carpets arent in bad shape i think

tach is not in there anymore

 

Another Rex back from the dead, who would argue! looks like fun project

 

god that looks pretty bad. good luck though

 

mostly superficial stuff...should clean up nice!!! especially like the price and parts that came on it. LOVE the rare yellow color.

back end looks like it's smoking a spleef

the previous owner did too, no doubt. give it some TLC and you're good to go

 

You have some work ahead of you....hopefully the y49 curse won't haunt you

 

thanks guys, and yeah i have a ton of work that needs to be done. ill update with progress as soon as i can

any suggestions is a plus, new ideas or anything you have to share is great like i said this is my first build

 

I suggest you make it yellow again

 

I recommend to strip the whole car and start from there, its not that hard and it will be better. Also you might wanna check the 1/4 panels because they look that they had rust.
For the taillights, I think you can sand them down using like 600 grid sandpaper and work it to like 1500 grid sand paper.

If you need cosmetic parts let me know, I have 1 crx and 2 hatches where I work

 

thanks alot guys, i dont have any progress done, i still havent gotten the car to my house, so this is just a update to show my ideas as of late.
i just got a complete d16a6 swap for practically free so i hope it runs or i can make it run , as for paint and body wise, i dont wanna do the oem y49. i plan on going for the all black.
i also just picked up mint 2000 civic si seats im going to be putting in stay tuned

 

for $100 you cant beat it, god thats a good deal

+1 for no ricey tach

 

get her strip down to the bare metal. then well see. good luck with her.

 

yeah, i plan on doing that... just need her here to work on her

 

Gosh what an awful paint job
