Hello everyone,

 

I have been reading here now already for pretty long, and now I taught it would be time to introduce my self and show an little of my CRX.

 

I Bought myself last year an 87 CRX SI as my project car, I bought this cause otherwise i will start modding my daily and then I will need an new daily within an year... 

 

So lets stop with the long boring story and show some pictures:

 

The CRX, First day I bought te car, at first glimpse  the paint doesn't look too bad but it is in terrible unrepairable condition:

The daily, ideal parts shopping car for the CRX:

And the two cars together:

Plans for the car:

- repair al rust holes ( 95% finished ) 

- getting an new exhaust made ( Current one has moren then two holes in it... ) 

- Overhauling the entire suspension ( Will be an winter project )

 

That are the first plans for the car, along the way there will come more and more things to do on the car.

Thanks  :D

 

I agree finding these cars seems to be pretty difficult, but till now I found most off the parts which I wanted and needed.

 

Crack free Si skirts:

Nice work!  I didn't realize Monroe made shocks for our cars.

currently there are actually, there is already an set of basic replacement Monroe shocks on the front. The rear side is an mystery what that has ever been, All current shocks are totally worthless. I guess standing still for 10 years is not an good thing for them. 

 

I accidentally found them, but I don't no how they are gonna hold when the car is getting lowered. But time will learn...
