Maybe some newbie questions but I'm looking for any answers. I have an 87 CRX SI with a sun/moon roof that has a pretty good body, only a couple of small rust spots. The car had been stripped to make a racer out of so there are a lot of little parts missing. It needs an engine, everything above the block is gone. I also have a D16A6 engine complete with wiring harness and ECU to put in it. I know it won't bolt in because the transmission is different so I need a transmission and clutch which I think I might have for $100. I have $600 in the car now and another $100 for the trans. I also have a 91 HF for some parts like the exhaust system and such. I'm not looking to rice it out, I want to go back to stock best I can and drive it daily for mileage or have a running car to sell.
1st question, is the car worth fixing up?
2nd question, related to the 1st, are there any advantages to a FI 1st gen over a 2nd gen?
3rd question, the plastic bra and plastic door panels are cracked and brittle. Is there a cheap way to replace or fix them other than new aftermarket, junkyard or fiberglass repair?
I'm a little dissapointed with the car and the apparent lack of parts available, I've got the knowledge to repair but don't want to get into it unless I'm pretty certain of getting some of my investment back either in driving or selling.
