You are trying to trade one busted ass car for another. You will be no farther ahead if you went along with it, and you will have a Civic that is primered and torn apart. Do you even know how to get that thing road worthy without the help of professionals? That is really the only question that should be asked, and only you can answer it.

Sorry man, but I have to agree. If you're going to get a built car might as well get one that was built right.

I don't think its worth it... Fix the timing belt on yours, replace the bent valves and stick with it...

Don"t do it. If I was the guy w/ the civic I'd want to trade too cause that civic looks like ass.

The phrase "can't polish a turd" comes to mind.

Do what you want with your car, dude.

lol what was the terms of the trade? the civic owner giving you $2k cash and his "civic parts" for your eclipse? or are you talking a straight up trade? dont do it man! unless the civic was running... and looked better... and wasnt a piece of junk... and wasnt falling apart... and had good paint.... and didnt have the SOHC head... and was "built" for a turbo..... and had seats.... and.... and... and... and.... and....and ....and.... DONT DO IT!
