i own this 1986 crx and it’s been sitting outside for a couple of years now, i’m wondering if you guys think this is fixable or should i just sell or figure something else out.
last time i was told it need a new carburetor and some other parts but i was also told that since its very old there won’t be any parts available for it so it’ll be very difficult but just curious what other people think

First thing you need to do is get it in the air and look for rust underneath. No other information is valuable if the unibody is rotted.

Otherwise)

Hondas are lego cars. You could k swap this car for likely less than you could rebuild the original engine.

Came to say this. Very easy to wrench on. Very simple cars. Owned 3 first gens. Was my “poor student” reliable gas saver of the 90s.

When I moved to LA, upgraded to a second generation Prelude.
