Default My 88 Crx Si

Finally found a CRX! i overpayed for it, but i have desperatly been trying to find one for 2 years. i only payed 800$. motor was in decent shape, just needed a new starter, and now it needs a new fuel filter. thats just the engine work. Exterior it needs new fenders, a hood, drivers side window and a new front bumper. Interior, was almost complete except the rear center pieces. but all of it was painted white and purple. The worst part about this car is i found holes behind both DS and PS seats where rust has just eatin it away...wtfff

the first thing ive done to the car was found non painted interior that was in good shape. Almost bought the full interior including dash for only 100$. ive also gutted everything out except the dash, REALLY cleaned the carpet

crap that is pretty bad. might be able to get the paint off with dot 3 brake fluid. just soak a paper towel and lay it on the the plastic for alittle while. then start rubbing it away. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. worth a shot though

I heard oven cleaner works pretty good as well, but like i said i bought all newer interior, its just the one i boight was gray and now its just become like a dull color, ive tried so many types of interior cleaner and nothing seems to work that good.

those wheels defiantly don't look bad for being that big.
$800 is cheap, around here a non running CRX brings a minimum of 1200 in that condition.
defiantly need to fix the interior before the body, but after you change fuel filter

The interior is fixed, the wheels are I think 17"? I found most of my interior from this dude that lived in the middle of nowhere, dash, back panels, the "oh ****" handle and the part it's connected to, etc.. But I gutted it out again to clean it all, and to remove some of the ac/heat components that aren't need so I have room to put things that come from my engine bay. I plan to do a tuck down the road
