as far as which to get, if you are swapping motors then all you want to look for is a decent body, with decent interior.
Keep in mind what OBD you want to deal with also... Not everything is so easy

PERSONALY I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I LIKE THE '92-'95 BODY STYLE THE BEST. BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR STYLE AND WHAT YOU LIKE.

whats with all the caps? I personally love the 92 - 95 style.. but i also have a thing for the EKs.. I'm sure someday i'll have an EK hybrid as well..

What i looked for was good paint, no rust, good interior, and minor body damage.. but none of that matters now cuz it all got fucked up except for the interior.. doh!

OBD stands for ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS and until year 95 we got OBD I then at year 96 came OBD-II, the diference between this two genereations of OBD is their function. For Example in OBD I is much easy to clear a trouble code or when you got a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on is cuz one of the inputs to the pcm its out of range. But in OBD-II when you see a Check engine Light is cuz you got a Emission Problem, cuz ODB-II primary function is to have good emissions. And its more hard to clear a trouble code in OBD-II than OBD-I. So this means that OBD-II is harder to modify maybe.
