Default What 14 years of neglect looks like....

Spun a bearing at 304,653.4 miles. For various reasons, it sat for the last 14 years, waiting for me to put in the SiR drivetrain I bought from a now defunct Canadian importer, Jspec Autosports in Quebec. Fast Forward to 2018, and I decided to get off my ***, tell work to go f themselves with the extra time they demand, and get my CRX back! So I bought a B16B drivetrain from a Cali importer I heard good things about. My white trash nephew and my niece's baby daddies have had their way with it though. The hood was popped, crushing the radiator so they could steal my MSD box, and the release cable for the hatch was broke when they stole my amps and sub. Anyway, you can see where a branch fell on it, crushing the cowl, and revealing that the hood had been resprayed in the 6 years of it's life before I bought it in '97.

No ED/EE/EF deserves this. It must be saved!

A couple CRX's have shown up in yards around me in the last month. I might be able to snag some parts if they're still there.

Hahaha is the car chained to that tree? Looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

I feel like I've seen this before, did you have it posted for sale somewhere?

You leave a non-running car untouched in someone's back yard for 14 years chained to a tree, wtf did you expect?

This sounds like an episode of "Shameless".

Very sad to see one in this condition! Good luck with the resto, hopefully the mice did not eat the wiring too bad
