A fender showed up on ebay tonight, in the right color code, and within my budget for a used fender. So I snagged it even though it is not "perfect" it will be decent enough for this car.
cam bolt sleeve adjuster and top lock nut will be here on Thursday from Honda, the link above I purchsed from (have purchased from before on a CR-Z rebuilder I had and LONG time ago for stuff for a CRX/Civis Si
).
Outer tie rod end got here from Rock Auto today.
Verified the stabilizer endlink I was sent was the left side, so went ahead and ordered the right side and it will get here whenever rockauto gets around to it.
Temp is 12.5F now, with a windchill of 0F now, and tomorrow will be worse. Might have this back almost done after next weekend if it warms up.
Not sure how to go about the rocker repair, I can do the body work myself in spring when its warm, but not until warming. I suppose I could have a shop do it maybe. Or maybe some side skirts to cover up the dents for now…..
I stil think i will come out ahead on this car if I chose to sell it. Not really wanting to get rid of the CRX, maybe sell my BRAT not sure…..will like this one i am sure. All my cars are on the haggerty future collectibles, and all are going up in value.. (BRAT, SVX last year, couple CRX's and a RT4WD…)

Finally had a day off, and all parts waiting. Made sure to use lots of anti-seize on the camber adjuster collar bolt, and the other control arm bolts.
Lined up stuff just the way it was removed as far as camber/caster etc. Put these new parts on and torqued the rest of suspension stuff to spec.
Although it is not quite street legal yet (headlight still off, no fender yet) took it out on the side street for a couple block drive. Steering wheel is centered still from my short test drive, so that is good must have it reasonably aligned. Was able to work it thru all the 6 gears and all function. Got cold as heck, we had rain last night and AM at around 40 degrees, and it is down to 30F now with HIGH wind, and stuff is freezing over. Pretty happy with the current rebuild status.
well just got this today now
has a few scratches and a few hail dents but its the right color. Old fender is sitting right behind it so you can see color match…
YAY
have to put a clutch in my RT4WD honda tomorrow so this will wait a few days.
little bit closer….going to work on the rocker panel covering tomorrow, have a plan to cover it with some floor edge vinyl….after i plate over it with something…not the correct way to fix it right, but for now it might do for a lot less money and still look okay. probably be following my plan to sell it when done soon, so if anyone is interested in buying it keep me in mind…..I have a price in mind…..
