Picked up a 1979 Civic CVCC the other day
Well i am a new proud owner of a 1979 Civic CVCC. Picked up the car from a friend. The motor is not currently running. My buddy said he had it started about a month ago, but it would run rough and die. Thinking its the carb...
The car has some slight surface rust here and there from what i can tell. nothing serious. the interior is clean except the front seats. needs to be re-done. im thinking on a simple restoration, get motor running, front seats re-done, and a paint job. then see where that takes me.

What a find!!
Roof rack and the beauty rings too. Wood steering wheel and Gauge pod.
You Suck
I'm just jealous!!
Nice to see another one to be saved here in California.
BTW, Don't stack the beauty ring's like that they will get scratched.
