Default I know you guys hate these....Which one?????????

I know you guys hate these types of topics but I am really having a tough time making up my mind...I have the chance to get one of these two cars but I'm not sure what to do...I would like some positive feedback from you guys, Thanks!

Situation 1:
1992 DX hatchback, 70k miles, Catback exhaust...Just tuned up, new brakes, FRESH Dark gray (may be Phantom Gray) Paint... The only thing I don't like is that the rear license plate thing on the tail gate is shaved..Where can I get a new one?
$3,000

Situation 2:
1993 White Honda Civic Coupe EX model...
JDM B16a2 - stock. Lowered on 96 GSR rims.
Needs a few sensors, and has one small golf ball size dent.
$4,100

The Coupe is from a guy I'm cool with so thats why the price isn't that bad...

I like both cars but I really don't know which one to buy...Thanks for your opinions.

#2 and sell that motor and get yourself a B18C or H22.

Just my opinion.

I say #1, if you are like me and want to replace/upgrade a ton of stuff, a nice clean fresh body is nice to have. It will definitely save you money on body work, money that can go a long way towards other things.

Yea I will have money left over and I was thinking of just putting some miles on the JDM B16 and then getting a GSR bottom end and putting the B16 top end on it...

Anyone know how this will work out?

Thanks

It'll work out just fine. Sounds like you've got your mind all made up! Good luck.

however, if you get the coupe with the b16, you know its been mashed and raced, but you dont know how hard. you said it was your friend so make sure its in good shape. be aware.
