Buying My First Honda Ever in 2 Days!!

I currently own a 99 Cavalier Z24 (lol) and on Wednesday I'm buying an 88 Civic DX hatchback. It's tan and a 5 speed and I frickin' LOVE it! Took it for a test drive and it rides like a dream. The owner is selling it to me for 500 bucks and the only thing wrong with it is it needs a new clutch. The motor in it was rebuilt about a year ago and it has had no prior modifications done to it. But I'm going to swap in a B18 engine as soon as I can so it's like whatever. Can't wait to get it and learn as much about it as I can and have fun with it! If anyone has any info/stuff they want to add then feel free to!

I'm guessing by tan the same as gold. I love those gold bastards. BLack wheels on a gold hatch = s3x.

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to try and go B18A and boost it. The gold color might be gone in favor of flat black and also a set of black wheels with a silver lip to them will be added.
