so this was a rare find in my area, another hatch for sale on CL was listed for sale by "DeezNutz" from the inner city, painted matte black looking dirty as hell lol. there were a few others but all looked like someone who didnt know what they were doing got there hands on it and the ones that did are asking 5k+. 1992 honda civic vx from canada,170k miles. the good, 2 owner,she got the car back in 97 from the original lady who bought it at the dealer in 92, only female owned, no mods, the lady i got it from is a teacher who daily-ed it for the last 18 years. the bad, rust, many things rusty, on both sides, qps and side skirts, engine bay, driver door dented
damn, i would start with a cleaner chassis that that to start, but your choice. I did the same as you, looking for my next project. Found myself a 2000 LS Integra driven up from Florida, so never seen winter, not even a spec of rust. Bought for $400, sold the stock LS mags....and boom, a full load car for $140
It is important to start out with as clean as a chassis as possible. Super important is rust! It is not only expensive and timely to fix, but if even the smallest area not properly prepped, it will just come right back again. On most Honda's, the most common area is the back of the rear wheel quarters where they rust from the inside out. Fixing the front part you see will only be a temporary band aid. What you want is all original metal, or as close to it as possible

the plan is street legal drag car, with-out doing any permanent mods to the shell besides cage, goal is 9/10s. the bottoms actually not that rusty, if it was i wouldn't have bought it, but its actually a good bit less rusty than all my other civics some how. ya its been in a rear fender bender they said. i paid 1800, im lucky, my dads a master welder and i have 2 qps off an ej civic for donor metal. the front subframe looks the same rust level as rear i just couldnt get pics, when i bring it in on the lift ill get good underside pics. car will be running a 200+hp goal b20b16 head, 400hp goal d16y8 turbo holset hx35 eagle/vitara BC stage2 cam, springs titainium retainers, ferrea valves, and 6-700hp goal b18c1 turbo garrett gtx3582r darton mid manly rod cp piston,head undecided, pics are just mock up, the b16 head is going to a b20vtec and the b18c head is going back on the gsr block after mahcine shop, plan is to have at least the single jingle and b20v together and in the car this summer
the car is now 25 years old and a classic car in CT, i decided to cheapo turbo the d15z before i swap the car, im selling the vtec-e swap for 100$ to my cousin once its out, im currently building eagle/vitara d16y8 400hp+ to swap in, as well as the b18c for even later
