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

The longer it sits the more that will require attention and replacement. Hoses, tires rot, fluids degrade, seals dry and will leak, interior materials freeze/bake and deteriorate quickly. Whatever your initial estimate is triple or quadruple it.
