Default 1988 CRX HF ?is it a deal? PICTURES

i found this crx through a friend. its got about 146000 miles on it completely stock. going for $400. its been sitting in a carport for 3 or 4 years. im pretty close to getting it running (i hope) after replacing the battery and battery cables. turns over and its got spark but no fuel. i took out the main relay and and it had all the symptoms of being fried. http://www.marklamond.co.uk/ho....htm great main relay info.
anyway here are some pictures tell me what you guys think

I'd buy it, soooooo where in Columbia is this car?

I think I saw someone in the local paper selling a complete hatch but not sure if it's still in there.

it looks like just a tweaked radiator support. no big deal to straighten.

if you weigh that glassless hatch for me you would kick so much ***.

Yeah I think so, it's been in there for a while so I guess there isn't much demand for it. I think they wanted $150.

You could always try calling here, link at bottom, and see how much they want for one or ask around in the for sale forum, I've seen a few people from Columbia around

may be a little early to start asking- but do you plan on painting the car? or do you need a blue hatch? the paint looked pretty good, so i'm going to assume blue is preferable.

hell yea ****** that!!! you know how many people would kill for a 88 hf?? thats the lightest crx made!! only thing that sux is the rear suspension ( that meaning the 89-91 wont work gotta find struts made for the 88 ) but thats no biggie at all!!!!! and just crab a new t-bar. atleast that radiator support looks a lot better than mine!!
