Icon5 April 2013 pics: 1988 civic lx sedan

Haven't posted new pics of my 88 sedan since I bought it december 2011.
Anyways, snow is gone and spring 2013 is here and it was warm enough to get some much needed new pics. Enjoy.

that's a clean sedan. and it's not like you couldn't swap in a manual trans at some point. but i don't think i'd "beater" this.

Like I said. No thanks. I could think of a dozen other cars of the same era I'd rather drive.

If this 4 speed auto. ever dies, 5 speed transmission are a dime a dozen for this car, and the swap is easy to do as well.

25 Years of driving probably loosened it up a bit.

epic. I don't think I've seen one that clean in years. these used to be everywhere. not so much now. I'd put back on stock stealies and get that chrome trim ring they used to use on rims back in the day. this thing is a damn time machine.

Mad props for keeping a car of that age clean, especially in your climate

Wheels look terrible though, please put an OEM Honda/Acura wheel on it. Some blades, LS Mesh, or EM1 wheels would do it so much good.
