My first ee9 but not first ee ; )
brought this back from scotland with my brother on the weekend with a few hicups but managed the 360 mile trip back in the end.
The car wasn't as clean as advertise not to my standard any way not quite worth £3800 .
Done a quite a bit since sunday
Removed all the seats and vaxed the everything and clean all the plastics like mad. the cars been washed twice to removed the stupid bumper grease that has been used by the pervious owner. managed to t cut the whole car with my brother tonight so the cars finally looking really clean.
The distributor has a problem so needs a new one, and the clutch pedal wont come back so new clutch is on order as well.
The engine bay is a oilily as the the internals are so the engine is coming out so i can clean everything and service the engine a bit.
The interior is pretty good now its been cleaned just one small tear in the driver seat which is getting sone up later this week. And the stupid red inserts are coming out to be replaced with some cloth door cards.
The plan is go get it a clean as possible nice and oem.
Ordered
dizzy
clutch
original stickers
old school leather dish momo wheel
door cards and rear plastics
sun roof
civic mats
aem v2 induction
red pin stripe
lots more to come
pics coming! have a look at the other projects

Did you buy it off someone called Paul, I think he used to be on here and he used to work for Honda?

Re: My first ee9 but not first ee ; )
I was actually going to go and have a look at this but after talking to the guy about it, it put me off (he sounded like a bit of a tw@t to be honest.)
Looks very nice though. Is there any rust as he said it was rust free?
Who's is the rex in the garage?

Yer mate the guy was a bit thick, all the gear no idea kind of guy.
The cars not rust free on close inspection, needs a new sun roof as the fame has gone in the corner, their are one or two small bubbles but some look like paint. other than that everything is pretty good.

how much did you purchase it for in the end? We were all discussing this on CRX-UK the other day.
It does look nice from the pics regardless.

exactly! good work on the Haggling front buddy! £3k is a good price and you can lovingly make this vehicle immense now!

Take it you are the lad who used to run Bolts Bolts and Dale has taken over from you?
How is the B20 Rex coming along? Did Daz tune it then?

I didnt think it would be rust free to be honest however £3k isn't to bad.
Loving the CRX, same colour as mine! Bet she goes well!
