Back from the Dead ('84 Honda CRX rescued from wrecking yard)

[C-REX]

And the journey begins, I saved this little crx from the wrecking yard and $12 in parts, I drove it home. It is sick but I have big plans for this little car. I am new to the ecomodding world. I found this site wile researching to find a gas sipping car. After reading up on and seeing some DIY mods, specifically AndrewJ's 5th Gen civic. I was hooked and this is now my new project. there is a few mechanical issues that need to be addressed before any modding takes place, Brakes are grinding, carb needs rebuilt, needs new wheels and tires and there is an electrical issue in the dash cluster. but I wanted to post and record this journey from the beginning. So I will be posting every change I make from the type and weight of oil I put in to the body and mechanical mods I do.

If it hasn't been gone over by a pack of wild teens and swapped out with the mandatory cheezy aftermarket parts, heads, intakes, coil overs, etc . . . you have found yourself a nice platform for ecomodding!

No pack of wild teens have been near this car in fact I think it was once owned by granny, It is in surprisingly good shape.

Wish I could find one like that in the state of Florida!
