Nice one!!
I had one back in 95 and sold it in 98. It was a mint example and was a great drive. Thats what got me into VTEC.
I was contemplating doing the same but i really don't have the time or space to do it so it will have to stay a dream for me.
Good luck with the restoration. I'm sure www.hondacrx.co.uk will have a new member.

Acutally, that seems to work a lot better than I'd expect; probably got the rigidity of a jelly, knowing ED-EK Civics generally.
Seems nuts there's no CRX/Del Sol equivalent in the modern Honda range.

It's just a bit of fun really danny.But,not being mechanically minded i'm hoping to learn a fair bit,and hopefully the end product will be an absolutely mint little car.It'll need a good polishing after the bodywork and respray are done.

There's a tidy one for sale on the NSX website - it's a B16A too.
Seems to be a rule about all older Civics; any wheel larger than 15" ruins them.

should have bought a mk3! Just messing, the banker better the mk1/mk2 and the mk3 on crxuk is unbelivable, some real hatred there.
My mk3 was ready for the scrappy when i bought it, 4 different colours, rusty as hell, not to mention mechanical probs...
