Just a few pictures of what I started with and the finished project car...the red Rex I started with from California was overall in great shape. I almost hated taking it apart to turn it into the black CRX Si from my youth. But the finished car easily squelches any of the concerns I had. This was a full rotisserie restoration with every part refinished or replaced with new, where possible. The entire drive train was cleaned and reconditioned with new seals, gaskets, and hoses. My intent was to keep it as original as possible and update only where necessary and with period parts.

Thanks to the RPR community as I have purchased parts from several of you and picked up ideas from many!

A few upgrades went into the restoration including:
- DC Sports 4-2-1 header, Magnaflow hi-flow cat, hi-flow cat back exhaust
- leather seats
- Ground Control coil overs on rear KYB shocks and new KYB struts in front
- sound insulation throughout entire interior

In process:
