Hey everyone,
It's a long post but I need some advice.
I'm currently looking around for some panels for my 88 CRX ED9 because of extensive rust on my car. Someone's done a shitty job replacing the windscreen and it's rusted completely through all around the A-pillars and the top of the glass where it meets the front of the roof. And that's only on the front. I've been able to find the driver's side (right) A-Pillar
right rear quarter panel
and the complete rear panel behind the taillights
There aren't any other body panels in stock anywhere within Australia, and the A-Pillar and rear quarter panel had to come from Japan, so obviously I couldn't find what I need. I still need the roof skin and the passenger side (left) A-Pillar. Not one dealer in Australia has any stock, and since they're all discontinued it's a matter of finding which dealers might still have these parts in stock in another country.
I've had a look at the San Leandro Honda website, and they have stock.
The part numbers for the parts I need are:
Roof Skin - 62100-SH2-320ZZ in Australia, but San Leandro quotes part no. 62100-SH2-A01ZZ. I don't know what the difference in this number is, because as far as I know the body panels are all the same in measurements. I've noticed that some CRXs don't have the rear washer nozzle, but I'm assuming it's because people have shaved them off, but I want to know whether any CRXs actually came out without the nozzles. This doesn't matter that much, as I can always make a hole for it, I just want to know whether the parts are all the same.
The other part I need is the passenger side A-Pillar (left side). This of course would be your driver's side pillar, and would also have the antenna, which again I'm not too fussed about. In Australia the part no. is 04646-SH2-310ZZ, and San Leandro Honda quotes the no. 04646-SH2-A01ZZ. If anyone knows whether there is a significant difference between these two parts, ie in measurement, or whether it's because of the antenna on the left side (for USDM) let me know.
If there is anyone who also drives on the left side of the road, who's able to find out whether their local honda dealer has these parts, and whether the part numbers are the same, don't hesitate to respond.
I'd rather ask on here than make a phone call to the US, because it'll cost a fair bit if I have to call numerous times. I want to get OEM panels, and I'd rather not go to the wreckers because there will be some stuffing around to fix up any damage and to cut it from the car to begin with. It'll also be hard trying to find a CRX at the wreckers which doesn't have rust on it, which I definitely don't want.
If anyone knows why these part numbers are different for the roof skin and for the left side a-pillar (apart from the antenna) please please let me know. I don't want to hand over money for something that won't fit right!
