Default So, I'm about to bring this hatch back to life. Tell me what ya think!

I'm getting ready to get this **** box for $500...I want to get all the body work done properly, and paint it Lemans Blue Metallic...etc

The ONLY thing i'm concerned about is the drivers quarter..it looks like its had previous work and needs replacing...and the rust is just surface rust

I think that with some TLC, that could be a nice EG hatchback. Best of luck.

i want to totally go through the car, keep what i need, throw away/sell/burn what i dont...clean up the engine bay, weld the unused holes (i dont mean wire tuck) take off the molding and weld up the holes

paint it inside and out, i REALLY want to do a 5 lug, but i'll most likely do GSR front and rear brakes

bwahah maybe $100 if its drivable, bodywork alone is gonna run your *** up, if I was to fix THAT for a customer at my shopt it would easily be a $5500 job, if not more, that thing has seen better days

Umm thats not black interior unless thats not the car, don't call other people ricers just because they have conflicting taste. "Ricers" is an attitude


good luck

are you serious?? since when is having a black interior rice?

it's definitely not worth $500. i would offer $300 max for that. good luck with whatever you decide though.

looks like both sides of the rear quarter panels need replacement, other than that good luck with sanding and painting that thing.

Always appreciate a Honda being put back to life

i didnt mean that the black interior was rice, i mean if i need to sell it to some "ricer" who has grey, or blue interior

i'm gonna go take a better look at it...if the quarters are shot i'm not going to get it, cause i dont feel like putting that much effort/money into it....i can do the body work myself and get it painted for under $600

500 is a rip I'd say...
Unless the motor is still perfectly fine and some what maintained.
So much body rust.

I'd pass on this car too, but hey...
Whatever's clever... GOOD LUCK To ya!
