Finaly, after 3 months I can now fix the front end of my rex.
But it gets even better, the parts are coming from a MINT rio red 90-91 CRX Si that got pulled off the interstate. Whoever owned it before managed to run something into the rear driverside quarter. Busted the rear drivers glass and all the hatch glass. Its a sad sight. But when I say mint I mean MINT. Not a spot of rust, stock everything. And from the doors forward, all the parts minus the hood (unsure) are in great shape. The sucker even still starts and runs! But the back drivers wheel is shoved up,(rim and tire is fine) and LCA is pretty much screwed. I think I can salvage the rear disc brake though. I know everything on the passenger side is good.
The even better part is, its only got 112k on it! :shock: 8) :greenbanana:
I havent had a chance to look at the motor yet as it has locking hood pins (?) One is busted but the other is in good. Which is wierd....completely stock 90-91 Si....With only a bra and hoodpins, and possible security sys.
Insurance didnt want, its totaled, owner cleaned out everything....Its ALL MINE! :twisted: Sorry if I seem to be more excited than usual but, finding something like this, in the middle of the apps, is very RARE. I got lucky that a relative spotted and asked about it. And I went and bought it as quick as I could. I can now fix EVERYTHING on my car, plus get rear disc brakes,better motor (if its as good as the rest of the car), New doors, minty Si seats with the red stitching in the middle.....I cant wait to rip both cars apart! Pretty much giveing mine a new lease on life like Ive wanted to do for awhile now. Its served me well and deserves this. (Im attached to my car....okay?)
Im going to try to get picks of it tommrow, its sad, but it helps me in the end and I kinda hope the original owner is alright. I just wonder how they managed it.
Oooo...Rear cargo cover!!
Okay Im done...
