So, it's that wonderful time of the year. And my baby could use some work.
I've got myself some options:
The last jackass I bought it off of decided he would just paint over rust, so now I've got a growing problem. I could fix the rust (new quarters and fenders) and paint it. I'm thinking either Supersonic blue pearl or camelia red pearl (I want a stock honda color. I just bought 16" polished rota slips, and she'll get lowered come spring.
Or... I sell my ej1 and buy a clover green pearl dc2...
Opinions??

dc2 IMO as long as no rust is in her but hey its ur chioce if you like a eg or dc???

1.6VTEC

well i love my eg, and they probably have equal rust. so it is a tough decision. personally, the guy wants way too much for the dc for its condition and cant be talked down.

Buy the dc, and turn the eg into a toy. and fix the rust as you can afford to do it.

haha, well I am an 18 year old girl. in college and work at mcdonalds. so i'm kinda limited to one car at a time.

1.6VTEC

it's now a definite no on the dc. the guy failed to mention that it's misfiring, has a knock, and failed inspection.

Not really. my friend built a 490hp z6 on Mcdonalds checks in highschool.
This was all him, his parents never gave him 1 penny.

You can do anything you want, you just have to be smart with the money.

I once owned a Saturn painted this color:



Definitely the only shade of purple I would ever paint my car. When not in direct sunlight it seems like a dark blue.

1.6VTEC

A lot of cars originally painted DAP had lots of fading and peeling problems
Who knows if it was the factory paint or what but I've never seen a car painted DAP in good condition

I was originally going to do nighthawk black pearl with some purple flake, but black paint shows chips so easily
