Leon - '86 Crx From The Netherlands
LeonL 16 Feb 2013
Where do you find NOS BNIB parts?
These where on a local selling site, something like ebay I guess. I've seen these last year when I was searching for my 88-89 new tail lights. I was surprised to see they still had them laying around. So this was a lucky find I guess.

Today I started taking the crx apart. Started on the back, because I hadn't checked the rust problems there yet.
Didn't find to much actually, less then I was expecting that is for sure
Drivers door, two small spots of rust (surface)
Passenger side:
Rear drivers side:

That is about it for the rust on the rear end. Doesn't look to bad to me.
Maybe doing the front somewhere this week. But not sure if I feel like doing that after getting home from work

It does look pretty good, But has been cut a bit around the headlights, some deep scratches. And couldn't just let this go by. Not easy to find these brand new I think. These might still be available, don't know.

Well, some updates, weather has sucked over here so didn't really feel like doing anything. I also bought another car, which has cost me some build money .
This is what took a bit out of the savings account:
This week however I started really doing work on this. Stripped it further. Took out the windows myself without breaking them, which made me real happy to say the least . Some rust behind the door hinges, but seems to be on the surface, nothing to worry about. No rust behind the windows either.

Today I took a closer look at the sunroof tray, minimal OEM rust here as well.
