Default My 91 Crx Dx build.

hey whats up everyone i recently just baught a 1991 crx shell for 200 bucks it looked pretty clean and not very many dents but after i paid for it and got it hope i found out that it had frame damage.So now i need to find a way to pull it out i will have pics soon..
Stuff im gunna do to the car.
putting in a 1992 ls motor with b17 tranny and obd2 ls intake manifold..
doing a minor wire tuck under the hood to clean it up a bit..
installing coilovers to lower it..
installing a gsr gauge cluster..
installing del sol seats.
as for all of those go i will get as many pics as i can and try to do little write ups onthem also..

im going to get pics asap good and bad comments welcome.


The Beastly Ls Motor w/ Place Racing Mounts not sure of what linkage it came with..


Del Sol Seats installed all four bolts they dont move at all nice and firm :D and the sliders work too.

My Air Fuel Gauge installed and for those who are gunna flame i turned my heater so that it will always blow heat because i never use the cold anyway so thats why i took it out.


I will have more pics along the way i still need to lower it and stuff also finish up cleaning the wiring i already converted to mpfi w/ no codes :D ill have updates later

Updates of frame damage lower on this page.

Pretty rad for $200!! Cheers from the NW!

What's up with the details of the frame damage you mentioned?

EDIT:

In one of your pics it looks like the driver's side front wheel is pushed back, which ironically is the exact same issue I have with my car, but on the passenger's side. It turns out that on my car, somebody actually hit something with the bottom of the front crossmember, bending it up a bit. It might just be the picture, but it sure looks like that is the case with your car.

Well if you're asking that..it's probably not a good sign of how easy it will be for you.

shoot if i only paid 200 for it i would just wrap a rope around the tow hitch up front and tie the other end to a track and drive and yank till it went back. hahaha just me tho. but try to do it the right way. there are frame pulling places.
and i think i might use that spot for my boost guage. thanks for the idea. i wont flame on it cuz most of the people on this ite dont got ac in there cars right now. whats the point of the cold side
