'98 civic ex project

Here are some pictures of my 1998 Civic EX Sedan. I just recently purchased this car, for about 4 grand less than blue book, and began working on it. It is a 5spd manual, 90000 miles, but has body damage (as you can see in the pictures) and has a few minor interior problems. I was excited because it is only 7 years old and only cost me $2000, and my dad and I do all of the bodywork/painting ourselves. Give me some feedback as to what I should do next, but I'm kinda on a tight budget since I'm in college. What color do you guys think would look good? And, does anyone have a website or junkyard name where I can find some cheap body panels? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Oh, and btw, I purchased a 600-watt amp and 2-12" subs to put in also, which should make for a decent sound system... not top of the line, but they should do the trick!

For $2K you got a hell of a deal. How many miles are on the car?

Obviously needs a little body work, but hell if you can do all the work it was worth every penny.

the car has 93000 miles... I, too was amazed at the deal, and definitely do-it-yourself bodywork is better than having a shop do it.

that's not bad at all. Good luck with the bodywork.

congrats on your car. that price is a steal. i have a 98 LX myself. i got it in 2000 for $6800 which was great at the time (5yrs ago) and in great condition. i have since put atleast 7-8 grand in the car (full body kit, rims, top of the line system,3 suspensions, custom leather interior with seat massagers and heat, angel eyes w/ hid's).. i'm working on swapping the engine, lambo doors, and finally a paintjob. I would suggest white diamond (the pearl color of the escalades). thats the color i'm painting my car when i do it. good luck with everything. i'll get pics up to show you soon.
