Leon - '86 Crx From The Netherlands

LeonL's Photo 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 :D

Drivers door, two small spots of rust (surface)




Passenger side:




Rear drivers side:


Passenger 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 :P

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 :P.

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 :D. 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.
