Default My new 89 Civic Sedan.. just purchased...

funny story behind how i got it.... but regardless... i got it, and on the cheap .. paid 500 clams for it. i got a few plans but for now it its gunna be my beater.

166k on it
nice quarters
everything passes state inspection except 2 tires and an upper ball joint.
it has all good brakes, struts, ect..
a fair oil leak
and also burns a little oil but all in all i think i stole it.

lmk what you guys think.. sorry about shitty pics.. camera phone...

Don't know what the going rate is in your area, but around here you can't touch a clean EF of any body style for under a G.

Either way OP nice find! Check out the EF Sedan Squad thread. Plenty of people there that can help you with any 4g4d related issues.

well i have both short and long term plans for it.. as for short term i want to put an upper ball joint on it along with the 2 tires i put on and...... drive it...

right now i have a 97 accord that needs a motor and i also have a 99 civic si that i am building a motor for... so this will be my daily ... but eventually i want to make a sleeper i think..

dropped on gc and koni yellow
powder coated steelies -- flat black-- maybe.. i was also thinking gsr hammers
new lights all around--- stock but fresh new ones..
GSR swap with a tucked harness and a shaved bay
new oem exhaust with an e-cut out .. maybe si muffler
20% tint
oem window visors
Paint job .. same color.. maybe lip kit and new bumpers-- color matched.
side markers?

those are some rough ideas..

You should really fix that rust before it spreads. I'd hate to see a clean car killed with rust.
