best way to take care of rust...

I personally would just replace the panels.

It woudln't be easier if it were a quarter panel that had to be re-welded on though

I guess. I don't really know the CRX very well. If you didn't have to re-weld, THEN I would just replace it.

Grind out all the rust and go crazy with bondo. The back pannels have to be welded and its a HUGE ordeal. I think the pannel alone is $600 a pop.

Got any pics of your crx?

I will be going through this process in about a month or so. The only way to do it is the right way, and that is to cut and weld, otherwise you are just prolonging the return of the rust...trust me. Find a salvaged CRX and cut the good parts off of it, weld it in, call it a day.

actually there is one at a junkyard right now... Me and my new friend Gavin (he's got the same year and model, are going to see how much they want for the entire car... As for pics... I will have them up in a few days i suppose... I wanna clean her up more to be able to placed next to the scoob...

What junkyard if you don't mind me asking...I'm pretty sure I know every crx in every junkyard within' 400miles, and what year/model. I need some 90-91 upper control arms.

First... get a job so your G/F doesnt have to support your ass j/k

Second do it the right way... its not like you have to have it ready for a show or something. Cut off the old shitty ones and weld on new ones.

Welding is sooo easy. I'm certified and I know a little about re paneling. Just do tack welds and start on one corner then do the opposite side and so forth so your not warping anything. Basically scatter your welds and take your time don't weld one after another, after another, after another, just do about three or four small tack welds with a little hobby welder and let it cool after those. Any questions.

Oh, use some ferrus light industrial sheet metal. (you might be able to use stainless steel.) Ask about it to some old timer that would know something about it.
