Barn Find CRX - Worth Restoring?
Hi,
I saw this car on my way home from school, and the previous owner said I could have it for free. It actually has a valid inspection and is street legal as it sits. http://i.imgur.com/G4onVid.jpg It doesn't run. I connected a boat battery to it and the horn just blared non-stop. By way of transportation, I currently use a 1970's 2-stroke moped, so hopefully this will be an upgrade. |
if it's not rusting out, and the engine/trans is mostly ok, go for it....unless you enjoy a big project.

Restore the CRX? Yes. But do a build thread on here documenting the progress so we all can see! :)

Every time there's a transfer of ownership, the vehicle has to pass a mechanical/safety inspection before it can be plated in the new owner's name. Hard to turn down a free CRX, though! If you're game for a project. There is ONE CRX left in my little city, a last-gen year-round daily driver (I cringe when I think of what the salt is doing to its underbits). Speaking of underbits, how's the rust on this one? Hard to be 100% sure from the vid, but it looks like there's some bondo on the passenger side wheel arch, and typical Honda rust on the driver's side. PS: Welcome to the forum! What part of Ontario are you in? |
Horn blares when the battery is connected backward, I believe.

^ If that's the case, very clever on Honda's part.
