Ichigo's first CRX! ^_^

[Ichigo1174]

Just a few pictures to tell about my adventure.
New Bumper

I don't like the bumper sticker, needing to take it off.

Painted headliner, and surrounding trim.

Rear Interior (the divider and lock box) are not screwed in so they are off a little bit.

and now I have a storage area, good for a little sub woofer? ^_^

More to come soon.

nice bro

Thanks guys.
It may not seem like a lot but it was tough to find all the pieces. It feels like i'm driving a car again instead of battle wagon!
I'm suppose to be painting it in the next 2 weeks with my brother. I'm thinking of having it white.

Inspirational Pic ...

I know it wont look just like that but It is a work in progress, oh and I want mine to be lower.

Thanks dude. Like I said before (I think I've said this before) I've wanted a crx since I was 13 and now that I finally have one, it isn't going anywhere.

So some more updates. I lowered my car another 1.5 almost 2 inches (I think), Put my little sticker on and primered my car. It will be painted soon but I need another fender. It was primered on a spur of the moment of with my friends! LOL
I also had my headlights restored so I can see with them and I smoked my taillights.
A few pics.

I'm getting a set of used tires (smaller ones) to put on my rims to have them back on and I'm going to get a front camber kit, I think I can put washers on the back and be cool.
Oh and I been jumping around on colors like how I wanted to do white. Now I have decided on Orange, I wanted to do a burnt orange similar to TurboRex90's EG but I would have had the primer to be black. A buddy of mine gave me some primer but it was yellow, so since it will make the orange brighter I have found that a friend of a friend has some gold pearl that I will mix in with the orange.
but it'll be a few weeks. 2 to 3.

I like the primer. Looks good.

Oh and nice job on the headlights as well.

 

[Ichigo1174]

Hey thanks man, It turned out much better than I thought it would. ^_^

 

[Ichigo1174]

Not much new, My brother got my car painted but we had some issues with the spray gun and the color choice isn't exactly what I wanted but it'll be okay. We still need to paint the bottom gloss black along with a few other pieces.

Need to paint the bottom and I really want a front lip.

I'm honestly thinking about cutting the hangers and raise the exhaust up a little bit, it hangs really low. It looks really cool but I don't want to drag any holes in the bottom of it.

Last one.

However the car does look a little darker in person it still doesn't help that all my coworkers pick on me because.

 

[double0Si]

lol Flamin... Not horrible. What wheels you gonna throw on it?

 

[Ichigo1174]

I'm going to put these back on as soon as I get smaller tires, 195-60-15 are on it, I'm trying to get a cheap set of 195-50-15 and them put them back on. ^_^

 

[cjvictoria]

any updates flamer? lol jk

 

[dacheat]

first off, great project - yay for rejuvenating the CRX

So I thought the 88 CRX Si came with rear disc breaks... I guess not.

i thought only the 89 Si came with all disc, but ... i'd have to go researching now to be sure. hrm.

I had a friend sell me the rear quarter panels for $60, then she sold me the quarter glass trim pieces, headliner trim, hatch trim, and the tailgate trim for $30, and then yesterday I went to a junkyard (and to my surprise they had 10 crx's!!!) I got Cargo cover, cargo divider, Trunk/Lock box, (some small pieces) and a red rear bumper for $80. Everything was in good condition too!!!

So basically $130 for full rear interior (then 35~ish for paint supplies and Smirnoff ) so $165! not bad if I say so.

so damned jealous. well done! i wish there were 10 CRX for me to ravage nearby

any updates flamer? lol jk

plus are you good with seats or still need some? i have some '88 professionally reupholstered black seats. they don't match the bolt pattern on my '90 Si so i'm kinda meh about the custom rail work that would be required to get 'em into my project car.

 

[cjvictoria]

Oh and also... Where the hell is this junkyard that has 35 CRX's??? Here in Charleston theres probably 3 on the road, and half of one in the junkyard..

 

[INJEN78]

please do one think and atleast paint the rub rails black.

 

[double0Si]

[cjvictoria]

i still want to know where the hell that place is... im gonna need some stuff once i actually begin the work on mine
i mean thats if i keep it... im getting an accord next week, and i need to fix the brakes on it at least before i go driving it so i might need to sell my rex.

 

[double0Si]

Again, how much?!
