'91 CRX Interfender
The last owner of this car, put coilovers in the car and not the whole kit. What happen after that? well, the shock tower kept blasting it's way through the interfender and now it's busted. 
So the left side of my car sits 3 inches lower then the right side. I'm afraid if it goes through all the way, my car will flip over due to the other wheels spinning. I was wondering if anyone has the one piece of the interfender from a CRX to spare? or if I have to use sheet metal? My brother told me it would cost 700 and I think it will cost 3 to 400. Is anyone in Seattle that can do welding work on the frame for a student that doesn't want to die on the freeway?

He could, but it will not be cheap or easy, plus it may alter the structural integrity of the chassis. The process is often used to repair totalled cars, however CRX's are not valuable enough of a car to fix unless you have hardcore sentimental attachments to it.

yea...
Well, you guys kinda hit me a little late on the pics because I'm getting it fixed and it should be ready on Thursday. My brother knows the owner of this body shop and the guy hooked me up for 400 to get it fixed. Believe it or not, I didn't even need the new one piece interfender. The car is saved!
I would not drive or ride in it.
