Default Starting Project EF

Teg_92 inspired me to post on here because he had such beautiful success with his project.Although i have not seen it in person i can only imagine.I have been a huge crx fan for a while now.I have been looking for one ever since i sold my mint si.Anyways i found this one about 5 mins from my house.It is a 1990 Crx HF,so its around 1900-2000 pounds stock(forgot exact weight).It actually in very good shape considering most of the crx's you find are rust buckets.It has 168k miles on it and i payed only 850 for it in perfect running condition*knocks on wood*.Im gonna be going through a similar project to Teg_92's.Mostly body work and then a paint job to finish it off.Engine swap is in the future,but im gonna enjoy the 14 dollar fill ups and 55 mpg for all i can.Here are some pics to tie you over till the body work begins...

Im traiding the fenders for stock ones monday...


Driver side...only rust on it is the rear quarter...about a inch




This muffler is actually quite believe or not....but hideous and a es oval will replace it


Just waiting for the vacuum...


Driver side rust...


Passenger side is a little worse,nothing a little body work cant fix...

Not bad mileage for a crx...


For the finale the high revving 68hp engine's tach...
