Default 88 civic sedan build

whats up im new on here but not new to the honda game.. just traded my old parts running truck for this sedan.. the plan?
-slam it
-roof rack
-wheels
-paint
-interior
-5 speed swap
-STYLE POINTS
-mild build?

im going more for economy and style points then speed. im a college student in ohio and im from philly so i need to go back and fourth when i can. being that im a college kid it speaks for itself that im broke so this will be somewhat of a budget build. this is not my first ef build

heres my old 91 hatch

looks cool and fun, but 5 speed swap is no fun, for me anyway, good luck just switching every thing is a pita but if you have the time well worth it more fun anyway.... put a clutch and flywheel in it that you might want to add more power to just my 2 cents but you will be happier that its there than if its not. Plus sticky clutch makes you want more power lol in my opinion anyway good luck on the rise of the EF'S!!!!!... AGAIN!!
