Looks pretty good. Body and engine compartment look sound. A couple minor tweaks and you will have your self a nice daily.

The 92-95 2door is my favorite body style Civic. I will be looking for a Civic soon, and will probably try to find something like yours. It looks clean from the pictures. What are your plans for it?

Looks good. I'm an OEM fan for a daily driver, that's almost there. To me there's nothing better looking than a completely stock clean car.....but I'm probably the only one with that view.

$2k sounds like a good deal. IMO black rims look good on a dark blue car, especially with a chrome or polished lip. How and how much do you plan to drop it, coilovers, sleeves, drop springs?

Very nice, car looks good. Just have to take care of the tails and exhaust. Pretty easy stuff.

I will never understand why people mount mufflers like that.

Stock tail lights or clear/red housings are pretty easy to find and pretty cheap. That's one of those parts you can get from ebay without really worrying too much.

As far as lowing it, I would suggest coilovers. That way you've got some adjustability and you can drop it down and try it and find where you like it.
