airjordan223 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 yeah you could buy that and swap in a new motor, possibly repair the dents, depending on how bad they are, and have a clean civic for like 4 grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayAreaReppa Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 yeah...what else do i need to look for before i purchase the car? anything i need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 see if you can have a mechanic look at it. you really need to check everything. brakes, axles, axle boots, compression test, possibly a radiator flush, tranny flush, tune up, ect. if everything there checks out, buy it. then pick up a new motor (b-series, h-series, or even k-series depending on your budget) with much less miles and swap it in. Then have the body work taken care of. and youre set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 yup, get a mechanic to check it...if everything is ok, then get it and swap and fix the body...it's work but it's worth it I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 i'd say get it then rebuild the motor that is in it or swap another d16z6 in to it. then build of the car. do the whole intake, header, exhaust, then the body work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
