Oldboyh's 1989 CRX Build Thread

Post by Oldboy »

The spoiler and fenders function for making it look AWSOME lol. I will change the looks in a year. Get some new fenders when I do my full body resto. Im trying to have fun with the car right now. Im not coloring inside of the lines in a JDM coloring book per say. Im scribbling all the hell over like i want to and doing whatever.


The motor will be in by tomorrow night. IM missing ONE Stupid bracket for the clutch cable -.- So one minor delay it will be worth it though.

I personally would do a huge mod that is free... Take off the "eye brows" on the headlights and that would make the projectors look much better than the horrible junk they still are.

You've done a lot of great work so far and I'm please with where you are compared to where you have brought it, but there is still a long path to go. Keep up the hard work and remember... more isn't always better.

PS. I miss my polished slips. They do wonders on anything they are on.
I'm still a neighborhood ASSHOLE!

Polished slips look nice as hell.

And +1 on the eye brows.
