Okay, my civic had some nasty front end damage. After some time, it is slowly getting to what it should be. Well, the front end will always be wrecked. Plus I have a sedan radiator support slapped on, no thanks to Honda themselves.

Anyways. The junkyard I go to has a 90' White DX hatchabck. The reason it was brought there, is there is a monster of a hole in the block. So they dumped it. Other than that, it is pretty straight. No rust holes, no major dents, etc. Plus it has never been touched by the aftermarket world.

It has been picked aprt pretty good. Interior is pretty much gone. Majority of the motr is gone as well. Rear glass is missing, no rear bumper, etc. You cath my drift right?

Well, they will give me the car, as-is, for $100 if I want it. What I have in mind, is taking that car, and completly stripping everything off. Just leaving basically the bare shell, including doors. Then I could completly strip the paint, and that nasty, god awfull tar undercoating, down to the metal. Then I could start over from scratch, with any color I want. Once the body has been finished, I could then take the civic I have now, and transfer everything over. Interior, body kit, suspension, etc. I mean it would have to be everything. Wiring, vacuum lines, hoses, etc.

I know something like this wouldnt be a overnight project. I would be looking at a finish date of sometime next year. Including my motor.

It would be a tough task. But what I have found while working underneath my car, is it is nasty. Having a 12 year old car, takes its toll on things. This would give me the chance to replace rusted bolts, corroded stuff, you know what I mean. I would also be losing the "Si", and I would just have a DX with Si parts.

Then I think on the other hand. Do I really want to do this? Would it be worth it? Or am I just waisting my time and money doing this? So, what would you guys do, given the situation?

 

get the car for 100, it depends on your attachment to your wrecked car, and your wallet, but i'd say buy the 100. Its a message sent from god god damnit

 

Where is this junkyard at? If you don't buy it, I will. HAHA!

 

yoo-taw

They would charge you more anyways.

 

depends if you have alot of time and money to fix everything...id like to seeit when it is done cuz its going to be nice i can grant you that....make sure you get a title
