You can get pretty cheap aftermarket parts on ebay.
I am currently going through one of the huge stores on there for a fender and bumper.
I am also trying this site for some parts (window regulator, some trim)
http://www.bkhondaparts.com/billkay/jsp/home.jsp
The organization on the site is neat and has blow ups of different areas of the car.
However- I am awaiting delivery of my order, and since my purchase is not entirely complete, I can not yet recommend their company. But it is good for finding out part numbers and all.
Ill post back again after I get my parts in to let you know my opinion of the company.

Why can you see the grass on that engine shot? missing a fender lining? That thing looks rough but depends how the frame and how it runs. How much was it? Check it over really well before you start putting money into it. But good luck nonetheless. Im all for restoring a car to its former glory.

Re: (alphalanos)
Well I bought the car for $3000, car runs fine! I have had no problems at all, just one thing for some reason sometimes when I'm driving in third it tends to pop out...I know thats bad...and as it comes for the fenders..and bumber seems to have things missing bumper like came lose so I took it to a body shop guy looked at it and gave me a funny look and said there are a lot of things missing here bumper support and what not..I just kinda gave him a blank look and had him put in place paid him 50 bucks and went on my way. Another thing I wanna ask the past owner looks like just lowered the front...and not the back and I really hate this look how can I verify how he did it, if he cut the springs or what not in the front?!!? And again I am looking to replace the hood and fenders if anyone knows a good place or someone in the DFW area knows a good junk yard or someone parting out their car, please let me know THANK YOU!

Man this always makes me feel better about mine. 3000 might be a little much for that man. I paid $650 for mine, bought a new water pump, due to coincidental timing had to replace the head gasket and have the head shaved, and then just a few tune up things. All in all, spent about $500 on it, plus the $650 i bought it for, so about $1150. But good luck with it. If you aren't on trial status, check out the h-t market place.

that is awesome, and best of luck to you. If i were you, I'd work on a paint job first, after that, just go from there. Of course go through all your basic tune up problems. Then it's whatever YOU want in your car. It's got a shortram intake and a 4-2-1 ebay header it looks like. Those aren't going to do anything other than sound cool really, but I'd worry less about the power until it looks decent. Get the dents done first, then get it painted.

Well that isn't a stock exhaust manifold that's for sure. My guess is an el cheapo ebay header. They really don't do anything, but it probably won't hurt either. Anyway, you said it sounds ricey. I take it you have a crazy exhaust or muffler then? if so, you can get a silencer for it. Or just a new muffler all together. I prefer the rich deep sound of an N1 concept, but that's just my personal preference.
