broke out the saws all tonight and cut out the 10 point cage. removed the remainder of the interior.

can't wait for some fresh paint on the floor

so now its on to removing my dash and finishing the wire tuck. then i will drop in a mock motor to set everything up just right.

the mock setup

wire tuck is pretty much done. once i remove the dash i can finish by mounting the fuse box/resistor/box/map sensor etc...

also gotta get rid of my ricey B&M regulator and install the aeromotive with AN fittings.

Your lip fits so much better than mine.. How did you do it?? The 84-85 CRX bumper is smaller at the bottom than the 86-87 (But the same as the 84-85 3G bumpers).. Mine is held together with zip ties and screws at the corners and only a few bolts that matched up really well on the middle piece..

Also in regards to the side skirts, you said they are from an 88-89 Teg SE right?? Were they too long and had to cut them to fit or did they just pop on??

Love the car.. I am partial to white 3g's though.. Looks good so far..

thank u. well it fit perfect except for on the corners and i used pastic push in clips that are used on newer hondas to secure it. the skirts are se tegs and yes they wrer too long and needed to be trimmed.
