    Default from rice to...well...its getting nicer

    i picked up a 91 CRX HF for pretty cheap, it wasnt quite so nice, but i wanted a project car to show some people what kinda and quality work i am capable of. it had a bad transmission. painted interior, just pure rice, well ive been working my ass off on it the past 2 days ive got it. here are some before pics


    BEFORE:






    yesterday i ripped the interior out, and cleaned it up real nice. got rid of all the ghetto red pieces. and wetsanded the intire car. i also wesanded the taillights and buffed out. as you can tell from the pics, the center piece was paitned too, and it was a PITA

    and yesterday










    today i got the new tranny in compliments of civic 1. i still need to do a few things, also found out it has heated springs lol, so ima slap some coilovers on iit along with some tociko struts i got. just waiting on the coilovers.
    the car will be painted as soon as it gets warm, and get some DOHC VTAAAAK love as well

    haha thanks, ive only had it for 2 days now, and ive already cleaned up the interior, put in a new tranny, and wet sanded the whole car. im thinking about laying down a satin black job just for temp. until it gets warmer and it can get its coat of imola orange. even though today would be perfect for paint lol

    excellent job dericing the CRX.

    looks hella cleaner after just a few days of you owning it.
