hey guys,

I am considering a 1990 crx shell that comes with a clean title steering column and interior but has no suspension or steering components (not 100% about that part yet) but anyways I was wondering what people thought the suspension components would cost if I got them from a pick n pull? I want the oem suspension to roll the car around while doing body work painting, undercoating and lizard skin coating the interior. I can get the shell for 50 bucks so I think it should be worth it.

Great deal if it's rust free. You might get lucky at pick n pull, but I have seen less EF cars. You are talking about undercoating, are you in the salt-belt?

 

The car has a rust just no rot. Sand belt?

 

If it can be cleaned up, $50 is a good deal. Shoot, $50 is worth it pretty much regardless if it is going to be a project car.

 

alright. well then im for sure getting the car

 

Post some photos, keep us updated. I am interested to see what $50 gets ya.

 

will do I hope to get the car within the week but now the guy will not respond to my calls or messages. hopefully its still available

 

Flakers. I'm getting real tired on flakers on this forum! I wanna see stuff!

 

im not a flake....he finally responded but will not send me any photos of the front of the car which makes me question the car completely and now its posted for 100....I guess I can post the one photo I have

 

Not you! I meant the other guy you were buying it from. There was another thread on here about a H2B CRX but the guy he was trying to buy it from flaked out.

Definitely take a look at it before you agree to buy it. That is for sure. But for $50, it's worth it in scrap value. If it has rear quarters in good condition, those go for more than $50. But the jump in price seems fishy.

 

Where is it located?

I'd pay more than $100 for it if it needed less body work than mine does.

 

A $100 shell seems legit to me. A steering rack from the yard, 4 corner DA disc brakes, new harder lower suspension. All things you would do to a track car, but without the cost of paying for the old stuff.

 

I cant get the photo to post and Im willing to pay 100 if everything checos out alright to me. If anyone can help me post the pic itd be appreciated

 

If you want I can PM you my email and you can email it to me and I'll post it for you.

 

thatd be great

 

PM sent

 

email sent

 

 

Thanks

 

Hellaflush GL on the project OP!

 

Get it.

 

I didn't understand what you ment after the hellaflush part lol

 

does this seem like a solid shell? sorry very new to Hondas still.

 

UPDATE

Guy is really hard to contact about the car most of the time but I have still been doing my research for either this crx or a different project if this falls through. I know I want a 90-91 crx with a b18a1 swap I can get the engine/tranny for 100 bucks from my buddys da project he did a b20 swap in. but anyways onto what I plan on doing in the next couple of days.

I plan to order a paint color similar to this

I also plan to buy lizard skin deadener and some kind of undercoating, nice thing is my moms bf has his own private body and paint shop so ill have a bunch of help in this area.
I also plan to order some suspension stuff
function & form type 1 coils
function & form rear lower control arms
blox racing rear toe links
nuespeed swaybars
polly bushings
skunk2 front camber kit.
integra rotors all around.
I don't really have any plans for the b18a1 swap as of right now, I would honestly be happy getting the engine swapped in and running so I could drive something around again.
