Default 1991 CRX dx build thread

ok this is where it all starts... 2 days ago i traded my p.o.s 88 civic wagovan RTawd with more rust then you can imagine for my new 91 crx dx with absoloutly no rust jus needs some dings and dents filled in... i think the car originally came from some where down south due to no rust and major sun damage just about half of the clear on the car is gone lol so it needs a paint job... i have an ls swap for it... everything but the tranny, motor mounts, computer, harness, and starter... but i have everything else... i have some decent ls seats im gonna be trying to put in it and maybe a DA cluster, along with my old EE's center console, a pilot racing wheel i got for free, im gonna be cutting the springs to lower it until i get the money to buy this omni power suspension with lca's from my teacher for 500, and i know there are other things but i just can think of them right now....

Nice find!

Seems a little too good to be true, did the guy REALLY want a wagon or is there something else wrong with it other than dents and dings?

Oh yeah, just throw some t-shirts over the seats until you figure out what you are going to do with the seats. Damn CRXs and their bolster wear.

The speaker cover on the passengers side door isn't in right. You see how it bulges out towards you?.... that's not how it's made to sit. Take it out and theirs two clips that you have to make sure clip in when you place it back onto the door. If you don't make sure they go in... it'll bulge. Nice car though!!! Wish my body was in as good of shape you are lucky.

Oh yeah funny you have a Frog hanging from your bumper. I have a Monkey. LOL.
