Default My CRX and my "shop"(56k warning)

This is my "shop." It's really just the garage behind a house that my dad owns and is fixing it up to rent it out.

The side of the rex, and the measly air compressor that I currently use to power my air tools. Most of the time I just use hand tools since the tank doesn't last more than a minute or two before i have to let it fill up again.

Can you tell there is a problem and the headlight and corner light don't quite line up? The frame around the headlight is bent and so is the fender.

Here you can see the 1/4inch gap created by how bent the fender is.

The rear bumper support bracket thing is almost rusted away on the left side.

The awesome stock motor...

and stock wheels

Pulling ---- out to lighten it up just for the hell of it. It keeps my friend busy when I have nothing else for him to do...


My busted *** windshield. If you didn't notice I bought the car in pieces after it was in a small wreck and I'm putting the body back together with as little money as possible. I'll eventually get around to having a new windshield installed.

My brand new set of air tools that isn't seeing much use yet.

My old '71 Carabela(Mexican) enduro bike. It's a 2 stroke and besides having too much oil in the gas it runs rich and fouls plugs every 2-3 miles

My daily driver, a 97 mitsu galant. It's acctually a pretty nice car. 5spd. It runs good but I accidentally ripped the front bumper halfway off aftr pulling too far up on a parking block for the second time. I ghetto rigged it the first time but I have been lazy lately so it just hangs down about an inch now.


I plan to do a B16 swap and then HMT the rex this winter. I have enough for the swap but I need to get a job to pay for the turbo set up. Sooner or later I will get around to internal mods. I want to be down to 11.5's by the time I graduate.(Spring of '06)

You might want to put the ground wire back on the head.

I just can't look at another rusted car. If my hatchback gets one spot of rust, I'm going trigger happy to the governer of minnesota.

Pelenty (or however you spell his name) Really isn't going to care about your Civic DX Hatchback getting rust.
