Default New to the honda world.
I recently bought a blue 93 hatch dx. Its my first honda. My last car was a 98 jetta. I bought the eg from a salvage yard for $866.00 after tax. It still ran. Its salvaged from theft. You cant see it in any of the pictures but the drivers side has a bunch of body damage. The roof is kinda dented in. Both fenders need to be replaced. Same for the rear bumper. The windshield was cracked. The driver side window doesnt roll down and there is no AC. The car was completely gutted when i bought it, except the front seats/door panels.














My mods currently are:

+ Japanese GSR motor swap w/ LSD Tranny
+ Injen CAI
+ ITR cams
+ STR cam gears
+ ITR stainless 4-1 header
+ 2 1/4 inch straight pipe Under axel APEX-i N1 muffler
+ APEX-i neo safc
+ ARP 3 1/4 inch wheel studs
+ Tein Flex coilovers
+ 15 inch rotas
+ Nitto NT-01 205/15/50
+ Carbon fiber wing
+ Momo HUB Works Bell Quick Release SIR steering wheel
+ EK9 Type R front lip
+ Chinatown front strut
+ 2 Way pager alarm
+ Power Locks

Seconded. The body can be really clean man! You've got one hell of a starting block for under $1,000!

Exactly. For that price you could part it out and make a nice profit.

the steering wheel is fake,

part the car out man, you go extended lugs, rota's, gsr with an lsd.

ya that shell is gone. id part that shit out, and get a gti or something

that swap is like 3500, everything else is about 75-100 maybe less.

sell the shell back to the salvage yard
