Default 92 civic si budget/ mild restoration

So i sold my other 94 hatch that i bought for 1450 in oregon it was a salvage title, i'd say about 4/10 over all condition for cx/vx so i ended up selling that for 2400.

I saw a 92 civic si for sale on craigslist for 1500 so i had to get this. i ended up purchasing
this car for 1300, clean title, the guy had it for 10 years, the paint was not good, some dings, and a good dent on the driver side rear tail lights, interior was in good shape 8/10,
came with reupholster blue leather yeah baby!



my plans are :
16" red gt3/drag wheels
oem fenders
hood
stock headlights and corners
ex/si cluster
power window
battery relocation
wire tuck
rattle can white paint job
or $50 paint job
i have about $700 to restore into a decent looking car. pics will be up soon.

got some work done today cause it was sunny outside decide to go ahead and re-route the
pass. side wires.

i dis-connected the horn,radiator fan, corner light, head light connectors, and un-bolt the ground pack, i had to extend the head light wires a bit.


also i picked up both fenders with sidemarkers


also picked up some flawless gt3, will have to get 2 new tires

today i had to get it inspected by state patrol, due to the vins on the dash was different from the rest of the car, so far so good, no stolen parts. i didn't get a new vin tag for the dash cause my srs light wasn't turned on/off, so they didnt issue me one. i wll start on the driver side wire tuck soon, while im trying to find 2 tires for the wheels.
