Now this is a new update as of 11/06/11
Got bored so its time to have some fun just got a CRX dash from some cool dude I met last night for a steal price just missing something not much but heres a pic of the dash. Will be putting it in soon will take pics for you guys.


Got some parts over the weekend that i needed. Just a few more parts.
Dont like rust so lil sanding and paint wont hurt lol
Before

After

also got a console thanks to eG! i went to two junkyards n no luck even called a few. But this ones for now till i find a cleaner one.

So today at work I put in the CRX dash didnt get to take a pic of every move in taking out the dash but took as many as I could. Still need parts that im missing lik the 88-89 trim bazel, e hand brake console, center dash vent clock, radio braket bezel. But this is just a start.




Wires are all on the new dash now..

Now time for the vin swap



The gun
Old dash also for sale b/o
