After purchasing the 1988 CRX, I drove it home to begin assessing just how much work was needed to restore it. The first step was to clean exterior and interior and begin identifying any immediate mechanical and cosmetic issues.
While continuing to browse Craigslist and local ads, I found this 1988 Honda CRX Si for sale in Erie, PA. I ended up purchasing it and made a crazy drive back to the garage to begin the restoration process.
