I just wanted to share this with everyone. Some people ask what they should look at when buying a 1st/3rd gen. and I always stress this above all things...
Our story begins...
This is Pepe, my little mule..

From the outside Pepe seems like a very nice little mule..

And Pepe's heart looks healthy and strong...
BUT!!!!! After Pepe's annual check up....
Please turn away if you have a weak stomach.....
CANCER!!!!!!!THE EVIL ABOVE ALL EVILS FOR OUR BELOVED HONDAS!!!!

I noticed a small hole under the car where the fender well comes down to the bottom of the car.
I then decided to pull the fenders to see if it was under the fender..

And after I grinded all the light rust away I saw that it went all they way up to the structural support.

I could not see this at all under the plastic wheel well cover.

The Cancer was a lot worse than i thought..
After 8 hours of metal shaping and welding Pepe is now recovering nicely, but the cancer could always come back...
The Moral of this story is...
No matter how clean these cars look from the outside, always take the time to do a thorough rust check!!!
That means under fenders in the front, the area where the jack supports and panhard rod supports in the back, and under the carpet inside, both sides at the front and behind the seats where the floorboard stops towards the back. THIS CAN SAVE YOU HOURS OF HEAD ACHES AND $$!!!
Thanks for tuning in..

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Rust - the more you look, the more you find. Remove it, kill it, treat it or it will return.
Adding power makes you faster in the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. - Colin Chapman

The CRX I am using for my project is a 100% percent Southern Cali car, and it has rust. Most of it I am finding UNDER the dealer applied undercoating. Have you ever tried to remove all of the undercoating on a car? It re-defines the phrase "shit work." I think of it as my meditation time. I am one with the tar. blink.gif

I have owned four cars that have all lived and died in So-Cal, and they all had rust, and I was way too poor to live near the beach.

I bet if I had a real close look at your car Scott, I could find some rust! You better hope I don't just show up unannounced to one of your famous Weenie Roasts! Before I introduce myself, you will find me under your car.... ph34r.gif .... installing rear disc brakes!

Just kidding. laugh.gif

I'll help. It would be worth it to see Scott shake so hard until his head explodes like a party favor. laugh.gif

What about sneaking some of those cheap wheel covers with the 'rotors' in them, just on the back wheels. laugh.gif
