96 civic ex. After i replace the steering column, stereo, steerign wheel, ignition, and airbag ($400) if i get used stuff. I will need to fix the 2 dents in the left side of it (one partially on the door and rear panel, the other on the fender right behind the headlight). My right front wheel is set back a few cm (straight back toward the rear, i think it may be a couple of bolts that got bent when my brother curb'd my car). After that it will be a fairly good condition, bone stock (except the stereo).

I make about $200 a week, owe my parents $2k from when they lent me the money to buy it. I pay them about $350 or $400 a month, so it will be paid soon. Until then, what can I do to my car, or am I in a really sh*tty situation?

Thanks

 

smartest thing to do right now, although it will take some patience, is to pay off your debts and save any leftovers, and when ur debt is paid off, u can go to a junkyard and check out some quarter panels and stuff, one of the first mods you can look into is suspension, check out some springs and shocks, cold air intake is also a typical top 10 firsts, depends on what ur into, if u want creature comforts, get your sound system, if u wanna turn heads, get some wheels, if u wanna go fast get parts...

 

everyone goes through this

 

I LOVE NEWB's

 

As long as it runs and gets you from point A to point B in one piece, hack it out. Once you pay it off, you'll have that money to fix your car with.

Yeah bro ... i was in your same situation about .5 a year ago . The smartest/safest way to do it is pay the debt off than finish up your car , as long as it runs and drives don't worry about fixing it . thats just my .02 Cents tho

 

welcome to the club man. most of us start out that way. if we had $ we wouldn't drive hondas, lol. pay off the debt, and go junkyard hunting in the meantime. you would be suprised what you can find.

 

Tru...I am there now still!!! You can search your local junkyards for parts on this awsome website....I use it all the time and I ALWAYS FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR!!! EVEN GOT MY B-16 FROM THERE!!!
