Default My first Honda...

I've never really been a Honda guy. But EF hatchs have always sparked my interest. So I found one for $300 in "decent" shape and decided to pick it up as a new project. I plan on doing as many OEM JDM Honda parts as possible and stick with a simple engine setup, that is unless a huge amount of money just falls on my lap than I may go crazy.
And here is how it is now just as I purchased it.

Your $300 car is cleaner than my $2600 car.

I paid $800 for my CRX DX; my interior was, and for the most part still is in far worse shape than yours despite your ricey goodness. Even with as many hours as I put into cleaning and repairing it, you make me ridiculously jealous.

Yea the corners, mirrors, and steering wheel are gonna be the first changes im sure lol.
As far as it running, thats a negative. The tranny is in the trunk and the engine is.....





But hey, I have body work to do and SiR bumpers to buy still so the engine being out already just means less labor involved in a complete respray.
