Where can I find a cheap 5gen civic for a project car?
I want to build a hybrid... I'm leaning towards a ls turbo project in a 5gen civic.
Except... where do I go about getting the car? I searched the autotrader and the cheapest car relatively close is still like $2500.. and they all run. I'd be fine picking up something with a blown motor or whatnot.
Where do I go about getting something like this?
I just called a couple local junk-yards, but, all they sell is parts. Do junkyards normally selling the entire car? I have no idea... I've gone to junkyards before, but, never to buy a whole car
Like I said, I'd like to keep the budget down. I'm also not sure which model I want... it all depends on what I find and what the price is. I want a 5gen though, because, that sounds like th easiest "bolt in" swap. The car could be a 92 cx hatch or it could be a del sol for all I care. A del sol could be pretty cool as a swap, but, I haven't done any research and don't know anything about them. I just know they weigh quite a bit more than a hatch.
