    Nice find especially it being a SI . that hood will go good on ur b16 swapped crx . And definitely will be nice to restore. Just grind down the quarter panels and see how bad they are to determine if it’s even worth all the work .its a potentially good candidate for a k-swap 😃

    For 600 you got a good deal regardless. You can for sure make your money back off parts. However if you do restore this one I will be watching. I have a crx that I discovered some major bondo body repairs that I am going to try to replace in the quarter panels with patch panels and rockers. Love the videos man. On a side note I am videographer for a tv station and your video quality is great keep up the good work.

      That's kind of what I am thinking. It'd be a nice "daily driver" CRX versus so clean you don't want to drive it. And that's easier to do than a total restoration.

  • @deadbeatgarage
    @deadbeatgarage 3 года назад

    I'd say do some restoration on the parts that are salvageable. Keep what you can for your current or future builds but throw the rest on ebay.
    You can probably recoup your $600 back by doing so and use the chassis as a race car build!!

    • @crxseth
      @crxseth  3 года назад +1

      Most of my old cars are just full interior daily driver status, but with this particular car, I can definitely see the appeal of making it more race car status due to the condition of the interior. I'll definitely have to consider that route.
