My first car was a ef hatch that i put a b16 into, which i loved, ended up selling it, and went through about a dozen cars, now i currenty have a g35 and well a little while back i bought this 89 crx si for $450. well as you can see it needs alot of work!!! ill post pics as i go. so here we go............

Sweet rims huh? haha

Back shot with ugly massive exhaust,


As you can see the inside is horrible, some things were painted blue, most of it white, and a little silver.......

Sounds like you are on a good path, that's a great deal!!!

I did the opposite of you, sold the car for $1800, and kept the extra wheels, lol

So, do you plan to strip the car right down, and paint it the original color again?
