Hey Honda tech, Just recently picked up a black 1990 civic SI Hatchback, for the price of $0.00. Everything seems to be there it's got 294k on the clock but still starts and runs, paint isn’t too bad. Interior is in need of serious help seats need to be re- done and there's some mold I think form a leaky sunroof. This is my first Honda I am a domestic guy (currently have a trans am ws6) but have always liked the early 90s Hondas look. I plan on restoring it to make a decent fuel efficient daily driver. So I'm hoping to learn a lot on this forum and I look forward to this project . Haven't got any pics yet but will post when I do.

 

Sometimes a leaky sunroof is just a clogged drain.

 

Sarge,
Welcome, the first purchase should be a HELMS repair manual. I have been working on cars for 40+ years and this is the only one to use. It will answer most of the questions and is very detailed. My wife and I have 2 crx's and a civic, they are easy to service and repair and good new parts can be had for not a lot of money. Good luck and keep us posted.
Regards
Dave

 

I have complete interior minus two front seats forsale in 8/10 condition
