Default Should I Buy This?

Should i buy this? I know it has bad hail damage but everything else is nice. He said the engine knocks. I plan on doing a swap in this anyway. I can get it for probably less than a grand.

to sliiiiced: well it all depends what u want it for cuz u need to do alot of body work my man, if your gonna do a garage project with it then fine go for it but u shouldnt get if your gonna use it for a DD

HondaGuyJDM: 2400 is kinda high becuz it has fender damage u can get that for 1800 cuz and use the other 6 grand for the damage. either way its not bad cuz it has a b18 swap do u know what B18 is it? LS, GSR?

Yes so it can be done, but the only swap legally is a 2001 B18C/1/5 or B18B1. It's just gonna be a waste of money because of all the B series parts you buy to make it "Running Healthy", you are going to end up spending the same amount of price of a K swap or a good turbo set up.

Hell, you can throw any motor in the car if you have the money.

Be the first to have a J swap in our 7th gen and tell hasport to make mounts for them.
