Default rebuilding an 86' accord hatchback---new guy

i got this 86 accord for a $100, it runs but was wrecked in the front end and abused for most of its life. im looking for some parts if anyone has some spares. im looking for a hood, bumper, wiper actuator (on the column), exhaust tubing or a place to get it for cheap, possibly a motor swap, shaved door handle kit, fenders left and right, any fiber glassing tips, radiator.
I already have headlights, I'm retrofitting 91 accord lights, i will take some pics of it soon. any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

welcome. Also, welcome to 3rd Gen Accord ownership. Sounds like you got a good deal there, and some serious plans for it.

check out http://www.3geez.com (it's a site dedicated to 3rd Gen Accords), my s/n on that board is the same (markmdz89hatch). There's plenty of resources there, and a ton of people that have done a ton of things to their Accords, from motor swaps, to turbo on the stock motor, lots of custom body kits, and bodywork, including a member that did exactly what you're talking about. He's got an 87 hatch (looks identical to yours) that he put a 4th Gen Accord headlight set on, and a completely custom bodykit.
