Not looking forward to doing this to the CRX.

paint or fabricating mounts ?

Body/Paint. Fab work is fun for me.

I hear you man, it would be different if this was a different car and it wouldn't be a big deal if I fucked up doing it but I got to a point on this one like I'm just going to pay professional to have something nice right the first time, all they are doing is fabricating the engine mounts and doing the paint and body work I'm still doing all the interior, wiring, and fuel plumbing

why not just do a full oem restoration? I mean, it's your car and all, but most car junkies really appreciate a vintage car that looks as if it's fresh off the dealership lot.
