Post subject:  My 87 CRX Si *still in the making* *56K GO HOME*

Well I bought this car for 600 bucks. It runs great. The tranny was messed up. I ran it w/ that tranny for 2 years, and finally got another Si tranny in there along w/ a new clutch kit. :)

The car has 184XXX miles on it at this point. It is pretty stock since I had to dump so much time and cash into the car to get it back in shape. Below are some pics, and there were so many parts I had to switch. Below is a quick list off the top of my head.

doors
moon roof
hatch
back bumper
back bumper cover
tail lights
exhaust *then I got my magnaflow*
the side skirts
all the rear panels inside
seats
had to patch up the floor boards
etc, etc, etc

Also the car was wrecked in 5 places when I bought it.

I need to get a new hood, drivers side fender, and the plastic piece w/ the H on it. I have a new front bumper I need to put on. Then I plan on changing moon roofs again because I now have a better one. Or I hope. :) Then I will repaint the car again. :)

My ground control coil overs and eibach springs came in a few days ago for the rear. I will try to get them on Sunday. :)

Pics below, easy now please. First pics are when I bought it, then up to the most recents I have. :)

These pics have some yellow shit on the car. I was trying to cover up the flaws until this year. Mostly where there is a sticker there is a little flaw. :( Also w/ the inside, the seats need replaced so I got some gay yellow seatcovers. I then did the panels thinking it was cool or something. *bangs head into wall*

Yes, I was a little bit of a ricer last year. :( Its sad, the CRX Is de-riced now though. Staying that way. :bang: Forgive me? :)

Last one here for the moment. I got some of a bandpass box that I bought and put in the hatch, etc. But this one is w/ my ex g/f. :bang:

I love seeing project pics like that. Anyone can buy a new car and bolt some parts on it, but it takes a love of the car and the work to fix one up. Thumbs up on your project.
