2. No flapper over the HVAC intake

So he slapped some fiberglass over the hole with questionable results and I need to find a flapper at the junk yard.

Once again, I'm thinking this car may not be worth putting money into. I don't want to have to get this windshield taken out to get the rust fixed, but I don't want to have to deal with a wet interior anymore either.

I need to get out of this apartment and into a house with a garage. Then I can buy either a VX or HF, restore it and have something worthy of my money and time. Found a clean running HF for $3k in Colorado, so they're not expensive. What's an engine rebuild run for VTEC-e? Does anyone know whether a bicycle will fit in the back of a CRX?

PS- Drove to Petosky for Thanksgiving week and had no issues. Car works great. I need to tabulate my recent MPG and post up.
In my CRX the back has a LOT more room when I took out the spare, but I think it'll fit but maybe not comfortably. I've fit a friends bike in the back before, we had to wiggle it in with both tires on the bike but with one tire off it fit much better. If you are going to look at an HF take a look at this CRX Community Forum • View topic - 88-91 USDM Crx Differences because there are sellers that know there are buyers looking for HF's and will change out some parts to make it look like an HF.
