Default Second chance eg hatch is it worth it?

I found a 93 eg hatch behind a mechanic shop the guy wants 300 for it...it does run and will move it's just it was painted a hideous yellow with black stripes Whig dosent matter much since it is so beat up it needs both doors replaced both fenders hood the interior is nasty but not real bad it is 5 speed has a cracked windsheild a plexi glass quarter window and a ghetto igntion the guy bought it from the auction that's prettymuch all I know I has a d15b1 in it the only hope I seefor it isno major body damage so what do you guys think I'd post pics but all I have for Internet is my iPhone....

Thanks for any imput

Good luck fixing it up man. Its unbelievable how someone will paint a beat to **** car some hideous color, and overlook the body work. Anyways, its nice to see another honda saved from the junkyard.

It'd be cheaper to get a decent shell if you're going to rebuild it for a DD, but for a race car....do it!

It's not a shell it's a running car eg shells for the most part r overpriced anyway I'd never pay over a 1000 for an eg shell the only 2 I bought both running cost around 500

Sounds like too much work, and you'll probably end up spending a bit more in the end, for a clean EG to begin with. Just a thought. If it's strictly race - go for it. GL

I like the idea of a big project built by you from the ground up, so it sounds cool to me. It's cheap and you can find body parts at the junk yard or cheap from certafit.

i would only do it if it were a ***** out track car, when you're running into buying new body panels just to get back to square one it gets expensive as hell in a hurry.

Post pics of it.


Get it if you think you can turn it back around and make it look and run good. Sounds like it needs a lot of work tho.

It actually runs really well all I'd have to do is replace doors and fenders the hood has a decent size dent in it there is no quarter panel damage or damge to the core support it's just the doors and fenders that are f#%ed I don't think I'd cost a whole lot to make it decent again. The interior is just really dirty from sitting
