Default My new daily : civic 1978

Here come my new daily, it's a little civic mk1 that I have buy next week.
It's a 1978 Hondamatic civic, with the 1200 and 60hp eb3 engine.
The car works well, but as you can see on the pics, there is a lot of rust, especially on the hood and under the rear window
I have buy it because it seem to have only 18200 miles ! I have all the bill since 1978.
It seem the car have been bought by a old women, who have sell it in 2004 at a garage where I have found it.
The car is not really a speed monster, but works very well and good in the circulation.
now comes the pics :

Little familly, with an Austin mini of a friend :





My rides (civic for all days, S for the weekend ! )

Yes, the interior is good, it's one of the things who makes me take this one, because it make me think the low mileage is real. Very confortable.
My plants are to treat rust problems in a first time, then made a complete paint, and later why not lower it and put larger rims, something like minilites rims.
No modifications on the engine because it's an hondamatic and a daily

Zenguy I am also looking for rims and just checked out minilites website and saw that there is a distributer here in California I was thinking of sticking with the 13" but was not sure what width to get 5", 5.5" or 6" much less the ET (offset) would you know Thanks!
