Default Just picked up a 88 CRX for dirt cheap!

Hey, i recently picked up a white 88 honda crx hf, i dont know much about EF, i was always a cb7 tuner but its a new task for me to learn, well yea i got it from some guy across town for 200 bucks! people say i got a good deal because it was basicly garaged and the only thing that was wrong with it was that it didint run, He thought the motor was blown and he basicly didint want to deal with it anymore, he said he replaced the motor, so i tried seeing what kind of motor it was but the grease was so thick! haha so i didnt really care, i thought it was blown, but after we towed it home and got it into the garage we gutted the whole car and cleaned it, my friend was checkin the motor to see if it was blown or not and i guess he had some engine degreaser and he cleaned the block where the engine code is at, and thats where my little bucket crx turned into i lil engine that could, haha it turned out to be JDM SINGLE ZC MOTOR! man i swear i got a boner and started doing the c walk, haha (sorry im not a gangster) haha man we was trippin! we got a clean *** body crx with a jdm single zc! yea sorry to bore u guys with the long *** story so i guess il get to the point, i have alot of ideas i want to do to this car, and no im not a RICER, im looking for that clean sleeper look, JDM BITCHES! haha but yea here are some pics of the little rex.....

Nice. If the body is in decent shape, who cares about the engine. That's easy enough to take care of......

Hell yeah, just like how the other guy got is 23K Original mile CRX for $2500.

EVERYONE always says "yea, I got my CRX of an old guy who used it to get groceries.
WTF where's my city's old guy who wants to sell his CR?

Around here, old people are askin $3000 for a beat up CRX with 200K and rust.

I have, but it was a Pontiac Grand Am. Not exactly a CRX. But I did make $500 buying it and selling it without ever touching it!

Lucky guy! I also got my EF for $200 but it came with rust and a 220k km d15b2 lol

So what exactly is wrong with the motor? Is it actually blown?
