what do you think?
86 crx dx. ew1 with carb 113k km on it. the car was parked in a driveway when the girls father backed into it and messed up the bumper and took out the headlights. theres apparently no unibody damage but im going to look it over well before i purchase it. the guy who has it now was saying it leaks oil but he drove it for over 1k km's and the oil level didnt drop and it has sat for well over a month and no pool underneath. im pretty confident on rebuilding the motor with all new seals. the main reason im interested is the 1.3l motor lookes pretty hot right now with gas prices predicted over 1.25 canadian a litre. and who doesnt like to rip around and not empty out your wallet. i figure with a motor rebuild and new front bumper and lights and most likely a new clutch. its worth the 250$ can for the car running (of course not at night with no lights).
thanks for the read.

Sounds like a good deal, as long as it's not completely rusted out under the car.

not yet. predicted to be by mid summer. the gas bar at superstore down the road is 106.9 or something.
i went and looked the car over. he way over estimated the damage over the phone. i was expecting bad. but this is mediocore. it looks like an angry golfer went at it with a club. exterior is in awsome shape. im calling the wrecker tommorow to locate the nose panel and headlight assemly. stoked to say the least.
