Personally I'd do an engine and transmission swap on it. Do a few basic performance mods to it and be done.

NP - and those wheels are off a newer gen Civic, if I'm not mistaken.

Yep you're right. The Civic HX from the 90s. I love how clean this thing is. The leather is even beautiful in it.

I'd totally drive that. I have a weird love for old Hondas.

I haven't seen one of those Civics in probably 25+ years. They've all rusted apart.

I'm with you. $1200 OBO. Could definitely get it for a grand and have a lovely winter project. If only I had a garage... This thing is just so clean.

Looks beautiful doesn't it? Whoever the previous owner was had it restored and I guess slightly redone.

About 15+/- years ago, a little old lady had one of these Civics, in silver, it might have been an automatic. It had, maybe, 35,000 miles on it when she passed away. Needless to say, it was in pristine condition. I tried my best to buy it off the estate, but it went to one of the grandkids. Lucky bastards.

That's called vinyl. Ain't no leather in '82 Civics. We didn't get that stuff in compact cars in the 80's. You were lucky to get A/C, an FM radio and power steering. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go take my Milk of Magnesia, rub some lineament on my knees and have a small whiskey before bedtime.

Thank you very much for your insight. I know nothing about Hondas prior to when they became fuel injected. Gotta love the Oppo community.
