if I ever finish the Accord (getting there, kinda…), the next vehicle I want to pick up would be a CRX (I LOVE EM!). I want to do the same thing you’re doing. I’m not gonna lie though, it takes alot of paitience (and beer too) to do restore a car. It’s been a mother f’in bitch at times trying to figure out what the hell the kid did that had the car before me to f\*ck something up, but it’s been a great learning experience also. I can’t wait to see more progress pictures! :tup:

thats only body damage and the interior/suspension parts are too new to need anything, so no. but a car that is 10+yrs old thats been in buffalo all its life and everything has rotted/corroeded/broken down and tons of stuff needs replacing is a different story. i totalled my focus the winter after i got it, and did all the collision work myself, and i dont consider that restoring, even though i replaced everything from the windshield forward

So tonight i was bored and I had some motivation. I went outside and did a little more work on teh car. Basically just gutted the inside and to see what I have to work with. The car is in great shape, dosent look like there is any body damage on the car anywhere. So hard to find a good shell in Buffalo, but thanks to Fastandcheap I have a awesome car to start with. So here is what I did tonight.
Starting to get messy again, just cleaned everything out my garage and its filling up again.
Look, no annoying loud Click when I open this door.
Look inside the fender wall, NO RUST or previous work done.
I need alot of new interior pieces though, like rears, center console etc.
Stay tuned…

just for reference…that silver cone, that is mounted under where the rear seats would be, it is held in with 3 bolts. has the harness coming from the top. what is that? is that the fuel pump?
