Getting a DX, got some major questions before I buy
Hey, a friend of mine is selling his junker dx for like $200, and I'm wondering if its worthwhile? The engine is good, but the body is in really bad shape, I mean really bad... there are rust holes all over the fenders, doors, hood, trunk, etc. I was thinking of getting some new doors, hood, etc, etc from the junkyard basically and swapping it in. Has anybody done this before and does it cost alot for the parts? What about filling the holes with bondo or welding new sheet metal and using bondo for smoothing out, etc? I don't need the body to be perfect, just enough so that I'm not embarrased to drive it around I guess. And as for an engine swap, I'm probably gonna go with a d16a6 (stock si engine). Would I be able to run it with a dx tranny and ecu? I'll probably also have to convert the dfi to multi-fi right for this also? Any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks in advance.
