Should I buy this EF for my Daily Driver?? Need Opinions.

It's a 90 Si. 150,000 miles. Needs a head-gasket.
Has some rear-quarter rust, and a leaky Moon roof. Needs a new driver-seat and a cd player. Also has decent all-season tires w/ good tread. I just wanted your opinions on this car... as Im still debating. thanks guys. He wants $500 obo

Re: (thenick)

Offer 300. That car looks to have a plethora of problems...maybe not the best choice for a daily unless you turn it into a hardcore project car haha.

Looks decent though.

Re: (1989CivicSi)

well, its been repainted, I wonder if a previous accident has anything to do with the sunroof leak. it also looks like it has been sitting for a long while, it might take some money to get it going again. I wouldn't buy it for a daily driver. A project car, probably.

I just got a crx dx that I am going to strip down and put a rebuilt a6 in it and beat the ever living crap out of it. that civic looks like a good "project beater" too!

Yeah It's going to take a little bit to get it ready for daily-duty. I figure, if i can get it for $350-400, and spend around $500 (or less) to get it going again, it'd be worth it.

Im just debating b/c Im already working on my project EG. and we all know what happens when you buy another project, before finishing the previous...
