Default $500 civic hatch was it worth it?

ok i bought this 1988 hatch 4 $500, i really only know basic info on cars but from what i understand this is what it has

engine
d15 block
its got a mild street/strip cam
chikara header
exhaust
zc head
better than stock pistons
short ram intake
b series injectors
it has a little apexi computer screen under the cd deck that u can change air fuel ratios
battery relocated to rear

not installed yet
turbo kit with front or side mount

audio
alpine deck w/remote (big ball'n)

body/apperance
brand new in box window mouldings
brand new in box pedal covers
short shifter
newly painted doors and door jams
wide body kit (only passenger fender is installed, but driver fender and both 1/4 panels in back ready to be installed)
not that there really nice but its got rims instead of steelies or caps w/ good tread left
gallon of white paint to finish the rest of the car.

i drove it out of the garage it was in to make sure it worked but it NEEDs a radiator before i can drive it 4 real. but i bought it any ways. i will try 2 post pics but i never done it on here before so im not sure if it will work. but do u think i got a deal for 500 or no becuse i got some work 2 do before it looks decent?

Do yourself a favor and uninstall what little of it is on there. Don't ruin a perfectly good civic with a widebody atrocity.

u know, i actually have never liked the wide body *****, but this one doesn't stick out nearly as bad as some that i've seen + i don't have any other fenders for it, and i have to have them to drive it legaly.

I would say $500 is WELL worth it if it came with all that, I paid $750 for mine and it has 260k on it and it needs a front fender and some bondo work, Not because of rust but because somebody scraped the whole driversside. It only has a Short Ram Intake, some NGK Spark Plug wires, some old Ultra Whells mesh style rims, And a Civic SI Driversside seat. It has a rust spot about the size of a quater, But it is just starting to rust, The paint has not even fell off, Just a little bubbled up.
