so this was a rare find in my area, another hatch for sale on CL was listed for sale by "DeezNutz" from the inner city, painted matte black looking dirty as hell lol. there were a few others but all looked like someone who didnt know what they were doing got there hands on it and the ones that did are asking 5k+. 1992 honda civic vx from canada,170k miles. the good, 2 owner,she got the car back in 97 from the original lady who bought it at the dealer in 92, only female owned, no mods, the lady i got it from is a teacher who daily-ed it for the last 18 years. the bad, rust, many things rusty, on both sides, qps and side skirts, engine bay, driver door dented

 

Damn that engine is rusty!

What are you plans?





eH.

 

doesn't look bad considering its from the northeast!

 

Paging @solbrothers, was this your car at some point?

 

have fun when you have to remove any hardware on the bottom of this thing….wow show some pics of under the rust bucket.

 

has been rear ended. the best thing you can do with a vx is flip it to an ecomodder. they pay out the *** for these things in stock form

 

You paid 5k?

 

Can you tell that from the pic or did you run the VIN?





eH.

damn, i would start with a cleaner chassis that that to start, but your choice. I did the same as you, looking for my next project. Found myself a 2000 LS Integra driven up from Florida, so never seen winter, not even a spec of rust. Bought for $400, sold the stock LS mags....and boom, a full load car for $140



It is important to start out with as clean as a chassis as possible. Super important is rust! It is not only expensive and timely to fix, but if even the smallest area not properly prepped, it will just come right back again. On most Honda's, the most common area is the back of the rear wheel quarters where they rust from the inside out. Fixing the front part you see will only be a temporary band aid. What you want is all original metal, or as close to it as possible

 

pics. im not a body guy by trade, but very proficient in body work.

Mainly all original;b16 swap. The Z1 is what makes a VX. Anybody can drop weight from a car, but not any engine can run in lean burn.

[/thread jack]

The price of gas and the VX are tied together. As gas prices drop so does the VX. And they will become more available.

What are the tells? The body seams not aligned, tail lights lines not matched?
