Now that I finally have the car in the garage it is time to start the tear down. The plan for the car is a complete rebuild from the ground up including replacing the bracing that was installed at Straman Coackworks(rusted).
The plan:
Red w/dark gray two tone
85 Si wheels
mildly lowered
Factory euro kit (if I can find one)
possibly 85 Si spoiler
Integra seats
Digi Dash
EDM steering wheel
Aluminum drums in rear
Integra breaks in front
That's pretty much all that has been decided on at the moment, I have all of that except the euro kit in my shop. I am keeping it mostly stock looking and have made no decision on the motor yet(FI or carb) but will be keeping the Auto tranny in it and the A/C.
This is a 1984 Straman crx conversion car #8 of the 310 built, it has factory A/C with an auto tranny and 299,000 miles on the odometer.
As I found it.

After some help from a few members here on RPR(duckorbleed and KCFDeng78) we swapped parts from all the other crx's in the yard to make it mostly there but still look kinda stripped. We swapped seats, fenders, bumper, tail lights/center panel, headlights(inside car), complete doors w/ panels, integra brakes and wheels. We also tossed a lot of stuff in the car.
