    Default CRX Beater to, Well.. A better beater.. The process..

    I picked this up awhile ago and have been putting around town in it. It's a 1989 CRX. Slammed to the ground, with unknown springs.. ghetto wiring, and god knows what..

    This will be an ongoing thread of the progress I do to it..

    Plans are up in the air right now. I'm not going to do much to it.

    On to some pics..




    Fresh paint, and new moldings are the first things to start with.

    Naw. Maybe $600 at most. I have so much crap at my shop. Just work is involved, not parts and money.
