Well years ago we had this great idea.................
2 years later we finished it. We have kinda thrown it together and it is now back in the deconstruction process to make everylast thing show quality. So sanding, cutting, fabricating, welding, buying and working our asses off has become everyday life. Right now we have found some cancer on the floor boards......(its an 87 you guys know how it is.) and are combating that with new metal. We are also removing the old cage and replacing it with a new 12 point cage. RPR members previously thought the rubbing above the drive shaft was on my tank but it was actualy on the ghetto exhaust set up. We are in the process of moving the fuel cell again to a yet even safer location. As for the new exhaust set up i have ordered side pipes for a jeep wrangler with the small block swap done to it. I will post pictures tomorrow of everything that is currently being talked about. We have finished (in my opinion) moving into our house and the garage is already taking shape into a half assed shop. The Rex is in 5 million pieces and im beating my head off the wall everyday. But as with every project its just 1 day at a time. I got a gift for u guys when i post pics u will understand.

Man that looks awesome. Someday I'm doing the same... someday. I should of kept my '82 mustang and dropped the crx shell on it .

[crazi-85crx]

You need to do a write-up for this kind of swap... please. If you have the time (and you're not too drunk )

[down4ce]

Wow you got cojones mang, I'd never attempt that....going for the sleeper look on the outside?

[ChrisF-dude]

I think we need an intervention. But all facts considered it looks very promising. Alcohol and sanding don't mix. (Swirly swirl marks)

[a_drunk_guy]

write up im working on still.......sleeper look ehh kinda, mugen kit with side pipes that are made for a Jeep Wrangler with the small block swap done in it.......and swirl marks dont matter when going to bare metal. the entire car is getting stipped i was sanding the roof area to find how many layers were there. 6 layers later i hit metal. So its time for some stripper to be put on the car. so i dont have to sand. ill get back soon on it.
