Just bought a 92 Civic HB : pic's included.
Just bought a mint 92 honda civic with 180k miles. Has full body kit, carbon fiber hood and full exhaust (not sure which exactly). Has cold air intake aswell.
YES THE SNOW SUCKS! will clean the car and put it in a storage soon. Tomorrow most likely.
It is a dark green, but the color changing paint makes it look blue at night. Kinda hot.
car has its problems. will list them below.
First off, the front BUmper needs a clip. From just looking at it that is all it needs, i have never messed around with body kits. So not sure exactly what it needs to be re-attached tightly.
Interior needs new carpet, also needs new rubber around manual stick shift. Needs Air vent covers for the interior dash.
Needs the driver seat to be fixed. Dosent go forward or back.
Needs new Door skins.
passenger side lock dosent work.
front Window needs the black seal thingy around the top. It dosent leak, just missing something.
Driver door is missing a plastic cover on the outside.
Needs brake's.
Alternator belt
other then those little minor things, nothing else is wrong. I checked the car good under and in the engine compartment. its clean with no rust anywhere. Not even in the doors. From what he told me, its been a southern car, but everybody says that up in NY.
Opinions? I will be looking for parts to buy here soon. Also... an Engine, stock won't be sufficient.

Re: (chadalac1712)
ehhh to each his own i suppose....i'd inspect those rear 1/4's reallll closely no rust now but if that paint was done recently then so was the body work....if the body work wasnt done right then rust is soon to follow...nothing you can do to stop the rust from coming back now but i'd carfax the VIN and find out for sure where the car really came from. good luck with it.

I like the look of it as well, it's not "overdone" or ridiculously gawdy, rather different, rather simple and clean. I'd probably get a passanger side mirror though.
You get a good deal on it? Doesn't sound like too much work at all, find some parts cars in the classifieds here and get what you need. Good luck
