Default the new hatch

so i picked up a 92 cx hatch,i got it for 4150,very little spot of rust starting on one of the rear quarter panel,and the paint on the back bumper looks like there was stickers all on it and peels the clear coat off so that looks pretty bad,a few dents,not to bad,and the b16 trans grinds 3rd and 5th after 6k, those are all the bads about it now for the good.lol
-gsr swap,done at factory 5
-tokico white shocks
-h&r springs
-new rota subzeros
-very clean interior
-5%tints on rear window,20% on rear sides,50% on fronts
-107,000 on shell

yea the motors great,im not saying i got a killer deal on the car,i dont think i got ripped off IMO,cause think about it,around me in illinois a hatch with little to no rust goes for around 2800,plus i wanted a gsr swap which costs 2500 plus a trans and the installation plus mine has brand new rims and suspension,so u guys are tellin me that you could find a gsr swapped hatch in illinois for under 4k?i havnt found one and ive been looking for a long time

The price is a little more than average but nothing to make a big deal about common now.

Thats kinda what I though, its not a horrible got *** raped kind of deal, but its not great either. Tranny should be fixable, but it will cost a bit if the OP isn't doing his wn labor. As for the GS-R swap, its like this, I hate buying someone elses project. You never know whats been done.

Car looks ok, but I would never buy a car that has been fooled with.

im usually the same way,i like doing everything myself,but i was in a tight situation,my truck was totalled and i wanted a civic,i did a motor swap in my old hatch before during the winter and it was hell,ran into tons of wiring problems and i have no garage,it was lots of fun,i needed a car for work and college so i dont have time to mess with a motor swap,the car isnt in bad condition,i think people are taking it wrong,i was just posting all of the bads and it prolly made it look worse but theres two dents total on the can and a pin size spot of rust and the bumpers paint is bad,1 noticable scratch and the grinds only after 6k and shifter hard,i just dont get how i got ripped off?you just cant find gsr swapps out here for under 4k
