Default transmission conversion

I just wanted to know what you guys thought...

ok i have a 1990 honda accord exr 2dr with 270,000 or so miles on it
I bought the car for 800 bucks every thing works expect the a/c it cuts
on and all but nothing blows, the interior nice seats real good but it has 3 dents on the outside nothing big just on the side of headlights and rear bumper.

I wanted a manual to save gas and this is an automatic a rebuilt transmission will run
me 2000 with good racing gears and stuff in it just the old case.... but i can't stand this automatic is it worth buying a new car or should i go ahead and get the rebuilt transmission also there would be the instalation fee...

So what do you think i should do, i was getting a cold air intake but i wanna wait to see what you guys thought

I've found 22 Accords (91 thru 93) within 100 miles of Oklahoma City (zip 73103) ranging from

Advertised Price Range for this search

$4,988 Highest price
$1,450 Lowest price
$2,791 Average price

You've two options:
1) Put all manner of money into the 800 dollar Accord, drive it for awhile and end up with an 800 dollar Accord.
2) Sell the 800 dollar Accord and put the money towards what you really want.

I vote for buying something closer to your ideal, and THEN have some real fun.
