Default Aftermath Hatch's CRX.....

What's up guys,I went back and forth with making this thread considering I may not keep this car,so as of now this is not a build thread yet.....lol anyway I found this 80% stock CRX on a facebook page the guy was trying to sell it are trade it. After talking to him for a few,he wanted the norm wheels,lowered,and exhaust,but really didn't have the funds to do so. My daily at this time was 90' Si hatch I picked up a few months back it had wheels,lowered,and exhaust so we made a trade.So again not sure where this is going to go,but wanted to start some type of thread. I still have my red ef hatch k20a project going so if anything this will come after that is done.So here's some info on the CRX........89'HF stock height,stock wheels,stock suspension,cold a/c. Things that have been changed are the front seats,and the motor was replaced with a d15 b7 out of an EG so like I said about 80% stock car was wreaked and repainted the work was def done by a shop because you can't even tell.So hear are some pictures when I first got her.















So after I got her home she needed a really good bath and I already knew that blue interior had to be swapped to the black and grey interior. After some outside detailing,washed,clayed,and waxed she looked like a respectable car.









So since then nothing much I replaced the battery,postive and negative termals and cables,replaced dizzy,wires,and plugs,fuel filter basic tune up stuff which need to be done really bad I mean the fuel filter had rust coming out of....



Last thing for this post which I did last weekend is tackle the blue interior,I took it all out cleaned and scuffed and used the duplicolor interior paint which I have used before and had great success with. Dyed the carpet black and reinstalled came out very nice I think.



















Took a little road trip to Florida she got about 40 mpg's











Not sure how long are what will be next,but for now I'm happy with the way things are going and I know these cars are def getting harder to fine in good shape again not my main project (kinda like my side chick...lol) but I think there may be more to come stay tuned!!

I've been on the fence about the duplicolor trim paint for my blue interior. This looks really nice man. What colors for the black and gray did you use? Is it literally just "black" and "gray"?

This may get moved to the appearance build section..but it's looking nice! I'm assuming it was hit from the rear? That's how mine died...

Same here on my blue interior...I want to but I don't think I will.
Already picked up a blue center armrest and installed Suzuka blue AP1 seats so I am pretty much committed to the blue. I will admit it is a lot of contrast between the colors of white, black, and blue but

I never liked the blue interior,it took a little bit to get it all done takeing the dash out,carpet and everything else driving the car daily to work took me about 2 weeks total just because I was using the car,but def worth it.
