I was thinking of picking up an 89 dx hatch I found for 100 bucks but I went to take a closer look at it and it was completely stripped...no motor, interior, anything. Pretty much just the shell. I decided to pass since it would have been a time consuming effort to restore and I didn't have time

I bought a 86 dx for $100. It had a warped head and block. Seats were ripped and it had three holes in the floor. Body was pretty good, header panel was cracked. About $3000 and a fuel injection conversion later, I sold it. $50 go for it.

mine was 50 bucks, perfect interior, only minor rear 1/4 rust, my friend fell asleep at the wheel (he works insane hours) and he messed up the front pretty good.

i had all the body work done, b16 swap, now its a decent little car, the front still isnt 100% perfect, but i did save that thing from the junkyard, which im pretty proud of.

I gave one to a buddy for a 20oz of mountain dew, it was a red 88 dx, it had some rust but it ran and drove.
I bought it for $100 and took a few parts off it and sold for more then what I payed.

I used to work at a car audio shop, and when little old ladies came in hatches, or any car I wanted for that matter, I would give them a card with my name, and number on it, and tell them if you ever sell this...... One of the little old ladies called me back, thats how I got the 90 hatch for $100.
