(you might be able to use stainless steel.) Ask about it to some old timer that would know something about it.

Basically i am gonna have to do the handy welding since idk if my friend know's how... anybody know what kinda metal to use?

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.

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.

I need some 90-91 upper control arms.

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...

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