Euro style tail lights.
Oh, that makes it so-o much more desirable.

Sounds like a good deal if you can get it for $3500 or less....is the body straight?

Sure you can...hasport mount kit makes this a sinch! Plus OBD 2 to OBD1 conversion if you purchase a 96+ gsr engine! If you can go with that si tranny that would be a plus!

Get it and sell the stuff you don't want. Lowers the price of the car nicely in the end.

because its a HB that is in really good condition....I plan on buying a HB and doing an engine swap right away....I havent seen many with really good bodies that were cheap....I'd rather have to spend some money on a new bumper and painting side moldings than spend an extra 1000-1500 on a hatchback that has a paint job and interior that is complete crap!!!
