Dude, your getting rex...

VelocityCivic91 · #1 07-23-2003, 12:18 AM

Over the weekend, my 13 year old little brother bought his first car, an 1988 CRX. It was sitting in the backyard of some guy that lives in our neiborhood for about a month. My little brother would always say to me that it would be cool to get that CRX every time we drive by it. One day he hopped on his Dyno and pedaled his self up to the owners door, and asked if he would sell it. The guy said yeah for $150. My little brother was like, how bout $100. The guy said sure, and he got hiself a rex. Hes got 3 years to work on in, wich should be just enough time to fix it up. It needs LOTS of work.

Just thought that I would share this meautal(sp) bonding of a little boy and his CRX. Here are some pics of it.

When the hood was opened, I was suprized to see 2 things:

1. A pink valve cover
2. An OEM Honda battery

does the car start up?

VelocityCivic91 · #10 07-23-2003, 12:31 AM

It has no drivers side glass window, so the rain got to the interior.

Yup, sure does. Drove it home (like 6 houses down the road).

Has a oil leaking problem though.

No, suprizingly, but they did have some rips in the lumbar.

We took them out... with about a can and a half of that rust unlocking stuff. In the process of getting the mad rusty brackets off the floor, we managed to rip up about 1 inch square pice of the floor with the drivers side seat bracket.

From the looks and sound of it, that rex is deep with rot.

My advice would be to inspect that frame a million times. Id really hate for your brother to get hurt in that car. If anything, you definitly got $100 in parts there.

Why do the tails look like they were in a fire?

What does a 13 year old need with a car ?
