BTW:
This is the origin of my user name: It's a 1994 Nissan Sentra B13. I have had this since I was 17 and had 5 more cars (3 SE-Rs and 2 NX2000s) of this chassis model over the years
That's all so far. Be sure to check in from time to time to see my progress. Thanks for looking!

Overall though, I'm digging that car and it's not just because mine has the same color scheme . Very clean looking body, I'd love to have no rust. >_<

I put the car up on craigslist for sale or trade to see if anyone was willing to trade me a 1g CRX. I was hesistant to pull the motor from a good running car and decided it would be beneficial for both me and a buyer if I was to sell it instead. So I got a call from another 1st gen CRX HF owner who was interested in buying my car and trading me his CRX. It was a win win situation as this car had a blown head gasket and was perfectly ready for a swap.
1987 year model CRX HF. Body is going to need some work but not too bad. The steering column switches (i.e. headlight and wiper switches are broken though). Can anyone input if the integra steering wheel and switches can swap over to the CRX? The car even has A/C!! Can't wait to do the swap, paint job, suspension and wheels.

In the meanwhile I got myself a non-running '86 Si. It had tranny problems, so I used the transmission I had from the DX motor. This is my daily until the other rex gets done. Replaced and spray painted a header panel I found after 3 pick-n-pull yard hunts!! I guess I got into the whole "save a first gen" thing after all

Ok...so I know I'm a little late. A little 6 years late but I finally got her out of the shop and have been driving her around since last Wednesday the 28th of December 2016! AND Loving every minute of it! Made it just in time for the new year . Sorry for the delay. I decided to play with 20+ other cars since this project started (including 6 more first gen CRXs). Also, am daily driving a different type of "REX" lately :
Big things to follow this year. The engine and suspension stuff are taken care off. Bodywork/new wheels are next (contemplating on Houseman kit):
Engine running:

205/60/R13 Stinger Radial GTS (originally meant for my CF-48s, but those were sold to a fellow RPR member in Virginia)
to be continued...

Hey, I know how the other car thing goes, I have 4 projects myself. Took my ZC car out for a spin yesterday myself after not driving it for a long bit and had a blast! It's like the engine wants to drag the car around Thanks for the update!
