Ask around where a racecar friendly shop is. Cash, and be specific that you want it functioning properly but are not as concerned about cosmetics.
Too bad about this happening, but don't give up and before you know it, you'll be out there again.

Thanks everyone
the place I took it to was a guy that does alot of race car repairs and he did not even want to touch it
one option is to take it over to the local Junior collage, they have a frame machine
this is one bad a** car

Try MyHondaPartsStore.COM
Ed Funk
NER ITA CRX, ITB Civic, ITC CRX (wanna buy a Honda?)
Smart as a horse, hung like Einstein!
hondaautomotiveparts.com they have almost eveything.
Also, you can register with Honda and Hondaracing.com/hpd for crazy discounts on everything you'll need. Doors, fenders. And other parts that you may need. But it ships from CA. They call to verify your order and get a card number so I'd go ahead and ask about shipping.
Good luck!

Well I haven’t had any luck getting the lower cross member from Honda
They say it’s discontinued
I did contract with a guy that says he will fix the car $650
But I have to fix the lower cross member myself
I will head to the junk yard tomorrow and try to get the lower cross member.
I also need to get a door
The question I have is what year doors are the same?
I mean can a 90 door fit on an 88?
I have already been to the junk yard once and it looked like the later doors had the seat belts in the door
And it had some metal hooks (or something) on the door
This looked different then my 88 so I did not buy the door.
Thanks for any info
David
Try looking for that part from Canadian Vendors.
Well I have some good news; the CRX is back from the body man

Looks good!, how did the rear subframe turn out? how much of that is bondo?

I haven’t fixed the rear sub frame yet since I can’t get the part
I don’t think there is much bondo since I saw the car after the replacement quarter panel had been welded in
They do have the special gauges the can tell you for sure how thick it is (body filler)
I bought the door so that has no bondo, he bought the rest and it was real straight

Search in Canada for that part!!
Sorry, we do not currently have this part in stock. Our catalog uses real-time inventory which is updated daily. Please check back with us later to see if your part is in stock.

Try and contact "Number 7 Honda" in Toronto, Canada for that part. I am informed that they found the piece a couple weeks ago for a buddy with the same issue.
You can also look up the number on Hondapartsdeal.com, if you do not know it yet.
The piece came out of the Montreal parts depot, but I do not know if any are left. It is in excess of $200.00, I am told.
if you strike out go on car-part .com my search showed at least 30-40 of them across the us from 40-100 bucks. Not sure what your zip code is so I would go that route.

Thanks I sent them a message asking if they had the part

Any update on the rear subframe availability? I'm now in need of one as well. Absolutely no chance of repairing what is in the car now. I tried the various parts places listed above and either got no response or was told that the part is no longer available from Honda. I'm starting to think the only way to get this thing is to cut it out of a junkyard shell, which makes me really nervous...
I'd really hate to part out a repariable racecar because of such a small issue.

Sorry I haven’t looked for awhile
I am in moving mode right now going to a new F16 unit
The car is in storage
But a junk yard item seems to be the way to go, I already bought one of those spot weld removing drill bits just need to get time to find one in a junk yard

I made it to a Junk yard and bought the rear lower cross member I needed
$150
They cut the back half of the car off then I marked out the area I needed (small enough to move around)
I was able to use the local Auto hobby shop and drill out the spot welds
So we are making progress

Hi everyone
I just picked up the CRX from the frame shop and it is all repaired now
I Found a place that had done several Hondas before and knew how to do the job
