I got this idea from a thread i have been following from guy who has great fabricating skills, he built a mid engine rwd crx that is just plain bad ***, so to make a long story short it has been done before i'm just trying to one up him and i have got a long way to go before i can even get close. I will be posting pics soon just started on it a few days ago. these pics are before i took it apart

 

now these are just the begining, the donner front end came out of a 91 crx god rest its soul lol had to trim it down, still needs an *** load of triming though

 

I've always loved that widebody kit.

 

yeah me to started installing it last summer then realized i wanted to put a motor in the back of the hatch so stopped the work on the kit and started on that.

 

i really like biting off more then i can chew lol

 

That is easily the ugliest body kit ever made... Sorry

 

I believe there are plenty more out there that are MUCH uglier than this. Back before I had my first car, I vowed to buy a rex and install a Black widow wide body. I still sort of want one but DA's are my favorite honda so thats where I focus my time and money.

 

all good lots of people dislike it and it doesnt make it any better that i stopped half way through and started on another project lol.

 

eventually it will start looking better that is all part of the picture process, and its cold out so i try not to go outside often lol it happens when you get old

 

good luck!

 

lmao i will need it! soon as it warms up a bit it will start coming togother.

 

well was going to finish trimming the donor front end today and cut the back out of the car and start the install but now got to go on business trip to st Louis going to be another week uuuuuuuuuugggggghhhhh.

 

personally i think it is easier to keep the engine up front with a rwd conversion. but that's just my opinion.

aaron

 

Why are you putting another CRX front in the back? You're going to have a hard time using that suspension setup in the rear of the car.

 

it is but i like a good challenge.

 

so that i can put the motor in rear

 

well was going to start on the inside of the car today but i was totaly spent from the trip might be another wk

 

Lol.

I am saying it would probably be better to not have makeshift tie rods holding your wheels in the rear straight, especially when you have rear hubs available from another stock car. (4wd wagon)

You do not want the rear wheels to toe in and out on there own at will, which is what I'd suspect is likely to happen with a steering based suspension in the rear.

 

 

oh i see what your saying, it should not be a problem, as it comes togother there are several ways to make the tie rods where they dont come loose hopefully i choose the right one lol.

 

this is where i got the idea, but plan on doing things on a bigger platform

 

OP u sure u know what your doing? lol , not tryna be a dick ive seen so many threads with projects like this and it went nowhere.......Just people cutting up **** for no reason. Hope all goes well buddy

 

LOL i do, just work so much that i cant devote all my time but it will start coming together, this car wont be another statistic to disaster.

 

OK here's the clean up before the cut up.

 

I have all new door panels, electric windows, original crx seats that im getting recoverd. dont no why im getting excited i have so much work to do before i can even think about putting those in
