Fix Or Sell... Can't Decide...

19 May 2004 - 09:08 PM

Hey guys, not sure if anyone remembers me (forgot my old password + old email address is gone), but Im the guy that way back bought f'n Wes' turbo CRX. smile.gif For the longest time its just been sitting collecting dust, in the last year I got married and bought a house and havent had much time to play with it. Now Ive been told to either make it driveable to get rid of it by my better half (apparently she doesnt think its looks good as a lawn ornament... I disagree... but im not the boss). Anyhow, heres the condition the car is in:

- hasnt been driven for over a year.
- rotors are for sure completely rusted need replacement. not even sure if the front rotors are 87 crx rotors or integra rotors (with a zc swap, would it be normal to swap in teg rotors at the same time?)
- engine *does* start (man, they dont build hondas this good any more!!), but it smokes pretty good. looks like some oil is on the header. valve cover gasket maybe?
- rust!! im sure the rust monster has eaten a bit more of the car... its been sitting in the elements. not even sure where to begin if I want to tackle this problem.
- whatever else I dont know about..

so again, the question is, with a limited budget anyone think its worth fixing it up? or should I cut my losses and part out/sell? my major concern is really the rust, i dont want the car to return home without me one day because the drivers seat fell through the floor smile.gif
