Last weekend a picked up some other parts. Front bumper support and brackets and some gaskets I couldn't get from the dealer, also NOS. Free 1987 calendar as well
These also came in. Refurbished OEM CRX wheels.
Also bought this from a dealer in Germany. Mine looked to be welded due to rust, and as I want to lower the CRX I don't want it to tear apart later on
Did some more work today. Slow progress, but all the metal work is just taking a lot of time, first time doing this and don't want to just weld some metal back in.
Started with the easy stuff , new front bumper support fitted tot the bumper. Now it hangs straight right away when I hang it on
That also meant I could weld this bracket back on in the right place.
Then I fixed this part. Bought a bead roller so now it's a bit easier to make some of this stuff.
Also decided to cut out the complete sill. Not much was left of it as it turned out. Looked good from the outside.
OEM piece for reference
Used the bead roller to create this more of a OEM look
Noticed a hole and that the lower part was already rusted. So cut it out
Used the "old" piece from the quarter panel.
This pretty much took me the whole day. Did some small things but not worth mentioning. Next up is drilling holes in the quarter panel and weld that in place. And fix the floor panel
I bought this bead roller, but it only had some standard rolls for it of course.
My dad made me these. Exact measurements from the OEM floor panel
So after some messing around I got this, kinda looks like it so thats a start.
And then today I made it a bit better looking and fitting. Also got that front piece done back into the wheel arch. Just a matter of welding it all back in now. But at least work is getting done.
Almost done, just a piece to be made on the inside of the sill to cover up the jack point. Removed the sound deadening stuff as well and cleaned it up a bit.
Yes lot's of rust on this one. But I was looking for a serious project to do (found one :lol: ). It's a learning process, never done work like this all by myself. Never welded or done sheetmetal work.
She's back, not sure how long it has been, close to a year. Just going to change the fluids and drive her a bit, and back inside she goes I hope.
Also got some more done on the 1G. Just this weekend I painted the engine bay.
Love that metallic in the paint. Can't wait to see the whole car in this color.
Also went to the UK again for a meet by 6TWO1. Great fun, love those trips with my friends.
Joined by this CRX. He started this 13 years ago, but has build a EG in between and some other things, but has always stayed true to what was the style 13 years ago. The details on this are amazing.
Damn man I was supposed to come to the IMPACT meet by 6two1, couldn't get the car out of my garage as the driveway was being worked on. I want to get to the EF meet one of these days.
Thanks man, yeah it's huge compared to the CRX, not mine though.

Been cleaning up the engine bay. Reinstalled that oem snorkel/tube thing for the air intake. Painted the heat shield satin black and just cleaned up the rest. Need to do the firewall and underside of the hood.
