BEASTIE: My 1982 Honda Civic 1300
I don't have a lot of pics of him, but I thought I'd share a few.
When I first got Beastie
Just recently with some BMW bottle caps

Re: BEASTIE: My 1982 Honda Civic 1300 (slicksapp)
I like it! Those wheels look good on there. 
I had one years ago that was brown w/ tan/brown interior. It had a 4speed. I kind of miss it.

It's got a little surface rust. But nothing that can't be fixed. I bought it last year for $800. Rebuilt the carb and put in a new gas tank (the old one had rust chips the size of baked Lays). I just put on the bottle caps this week. I sprayed them Cast coat aluminum and was able to use my stock center caps of my 12 inch steelies. BTW my tire size is 185/60/14 incase anybody wanted to know.

That would be sick. As for now I'm saving up for a motor swap. I hear that a Honda City Turbo motor is a good sawp for this car( if you can find one lol). If I can't find that I might just go with the accord swap or try a SOHC d-series swap.

Re: (RuskeR)
They probably would look nice on my '90. Just a puddle jumper DD, so nothing special.
Yours, clean as it is, is a classic. Not in the 1969 Camaro Z/28 DZ302, 57 Chevrolet "Fuelie" Corvette, and Shelby GT350 kind of way, but in a BMW Isetta, Crosley, and Kaiser Darrin and Nash Metropolitan kind of way. Different and cool.
crosley
Kaiser
Nash Metro
funny fact: Kaiser and Nash eventually became AMC. Hudson was part of it as well, and they dominated Nascar's early days, before it became tube framed billboards being driven in circles by corporate spokespersons.

Re: (censurebush)
I have an 'appreciation' for the unpopular classic cars and trucks as well (how many K5 Blazers are out there that haven't been hacked by some redneck? I'm sure there's more rare and uncommon stuff (and common) where there's few good mildly modified or stock examples left.)
I'm a musclecar/Jeep guy at heart, but my Honda sure is affordable!
Another oddball factoid...
Porsche Tractor, they don't build them anymore.
...but they still make Lambo tractors! http://www.samedeutz-fahr.com/lamborghini/
edit:
the pics on the kaiser didn't work!
The doors slide into the fender on these things. And, Jay Leno has all sorts of crazy old cars. Click on 'next' just below the photo of the kaiser.

:NEWER UPDATE: I've decided to go fuel injected.
Monstor motorsports Nc is hooking me up! We're installing a d16a6 (88-91 civic si motor). It's not vtec, but it is reliable and will be relatively quick. I'll be sure to do a write up with pics so other people can do this swap in the future. I'll hit you guys up when I know alittle more about the situation.

I haven't got the price quote yet. He's supplying the motor for half of what PJDM would charge, and labor is 75 an hour. I'll try to get the price "quote" this week. BTW those things are never accurate lol.

Re: BEASTIE: My 1982 Honda Civic 1300
im actually in the process of selling the car with the stock rims on it. i hate to let him go, but I need to give him to someone who can fix him up. and i just simply don't have the dough.
