What's up from Chicago. I have a 1993 Civic CX that was recently in an accident. It's my daily comuter. Well over 30 MPG with winding out the gears. This sparked me to fix up my ole girl. I have had it for over 10 years and watch the rust & small dings grow. Now I will be working on her with lots of love and sweat. I thank this forum so many of my questions. the how-to section is great.
My plans are to fix the rust, get it sprayed [eventually], install new back bumper, get some coilovers [better ride and marginal handeling] looking at tien basics, and maybe even a rear trailing arm / integra swap. Also in the works in LCAs and possibly sway bar & reinforcement.
next step is handle the "honda rust" & a new set of tires. I still like my 1991 CRX Si NINJA wheels. Was the wifes car, had major frame damage and well over 250K miles. I sold it for $600 last year. Took off the wheels and various upgrades.
Here are some pics of my car.
Crash
rust - bought the full rear panels from fixmyrust.com
junk yard find - best in chicago - again auto 1300 North Kostner http://www.chicagoautoparts.net
94 Integra - trailing arms with rear discs
garage work
Finally to new front end. Luckly that only the panels were damaged and not engine components. only the airbox was sacraficed.
