Time to let the secret out... (pix of my new project 56k beware)

[mdnnccivicrcr]

Okay everybody, I did a cool thing to find the perfect project to replace the EX as my honda. While digging around the junkyard I go to I found a gold 88-89 LX sedan. It looked to be in pretty good shape so I started saving up $100 (standard downpayment) I wrote the check and stuck it in my pocket and took off. I arrived at the junkyard and I asked him about the car specifically. He said he couldn't sell it because he didn't have any papers on it, I was a little bummed so I started asking about any other civics, he said he didn't have papers on any of them either. I was about to leave when I realized he probably didn't consider CRX's civics. I asked he said he only had one and told me where it was. I looked at it, I fell in love immediately with it. I asked him if he'd pull the engine/tranny out because I didn't need them if one didn't work. He said that he was waiting on another one to come in with a good front clip so he could resell it as a used car. I checked the body damage on it and it's nothing that isn't fixable and he said it had a good, strong-running engine in it and I believed him because he's been dead on the money about everything else, and I trust him so I said I'll take it. Here's the pix of it, remember it's a project but it probably wont take me but about a month to get the money up to get it on the road and another front clip on it... I know D15 power but oh well, a running, drivable civic is something I've really wanted for a while.











I know it looks rough, but I've seen cars in worse shape be brought back. It's not very rusty and what rust it has it just surface, it's got part of a body kit on it but I dont recognize it. The pix of the interior doesn't do it justice, it's in near-perfect shape (and no baby seat in the rear!), just the seats are worn. I'll be swapping my EX front brakes, 5-speed tranny, and some other stuff on it. I'll have more pix once I take delivery on it after I pay it off... considering the junkyard beside this one has a stripped out (missing one door, both fenders, hood, lights and bumper) 91 Civic DX hatch for $1000, I think I got a deal at $600 for this DX but I'm sure you guys think different... either way I've got a new 4th gen and I'm happy...

you're referring to the side skirts on there? I think those are stock crx skirts. good luck with the project

yeah, I was looking for another bumper last night and I'm just used to seeing hatch/sedan bumpers so I thought the bumper and side skirts looked different. But I'm probably going with an aftermarket front bumper whenever I replace it.
