Sorting out the Bodywork

I have basically been working sorting out all the bodywork and getting that up to scratch recently:

New doors fitted:



Made some new mud flaps from fiberglass and filler :)



Boot lid filled and holes drilled for the VTEC spoiler:



Sunroof filled sanded down and finished:



Front arches removed the tiny tiny amount of rust of these:





Also just a few shots of the engine bay before the turbo goes in:

Harnesses

Managed to get hold of a set of harnesses and eye bolts, here they are fitted:






Front is now all stipped out as well including carpets and sound deadening material:

Rear Strut Brace

Added a rear upper strut brace as well now:

How It Stands at the Moment

The car is now fully stripped down and ready to start putting bits on, here it is at the moment:

New Shiny Bits

I went down to London to pay Stuart (Stoo) from CRX-UK a visit and pick up a few new parts that I needed (I also got my turbo kit off this guy, top bloke if anyone is thinking about dealing with him, he also has a business setup with Jon (Amplereason) and trade under the username sixpointnine)

Some new doors:





Powerflow exhaust:







New clutch and flywheel:



VTEC Spoiler:

Stripping Her Out

As this is mainly going to be a track car I want as little weight as possiable, hence all the crap out the back has to go, here are a few photos of the stripped out rear:





Yes those are my legs :)

The Rear Impact

This car is a CAT C insurance write off at the moment due to a rear impact, these pictures show the damage to the rear which is minimal and has since been knocked back out with a lump hammer (farmer mechanic style).





It is kind of hard to see the damage but here it is repaired:

Assessing the state of the Car

Hmm, Rust rust and some more rust, I knew that plastic trim was hiding something! I knew it was going to be there so wasn't a massive surprise when I found it.

Drivers door, the passenger one was just as bad as well:



Drivers sill, again passenger one is just as bad:



Another shot of the sill:



And towards the back of the sill:



This is the passenger one:



Sun roof:



Boot hatch:

The Beginning

Hello and welcome to the blog that I have created for the CRX Project, I figured it would be a lot better to make this rather than upload the images again and again to various websites.

I'm going to back track a bit here and post the pictures in the order than things were done.

This is what she was like when I first got her:
