Project Swiss 1St Gen Crx

GenOneCRX's Photo GenOneCRX 07 Jun 2018

Hello Honda community

I am new here and I looking for people with whom I can communicate and who possibly help me, or support me through this community, if I cannot get any further and to share my project.

But first to me: I'm Jonas, built in 1990, living on Lake Constance in Switzerland and since recently owner of a Honda CRX AS. Which brings me to the relevant topic:

I've bought a CRX AS, which has some problems. According to the previous owner, he has a problem with the electrical system, the fuel tank had to be patched because of rust, which is only an emergency solution and the gasoline pump is a converted from another car. In addition, I have to think about what I do with the roof. Many years ago, the sunroof was removed and a piece of sheet metal welded in place. Meanwhile you can see the "edges" where the sunroof was and the clear coat is damaged.

Apparently, this CRX had many previous owners and a correspondingly long history with many different chapters. Far below his value bought, I probably saved the CRX from the scrapping.

Here are some data about the CRX and pictures:

Honda CRX AS, No.: 153, 1986.
Repainted from red to blue metallic (including interior, engine bay badly painted)
Engine original
Polybauer body kit, Schneider Motorsport rear spoiler (all plastic parts come from a red donor car, so the car is two-tone)

US tail lights
Eibach lowering springs
ATS alloy wheels

I'm happy to be a part of this community and keep you up to date on how the AS continues. Kind regards!

Great job at saving one from the scrap yard!  What plans do you have for it?  

 

You live in a beautiful place - I have visited Geneva/Lac Leman several times.

Welcome! Very good starting point. Shame that some things were done to take away from the value. Did the interior headliner get replaced when the sunroof was closed? Should be a fun car to drive.
