Well, I’m winning an auction on eBay for a project car… If I win it, the Prizm becomes my beater and I’ll have a car to build… don’t worry though; i’m not jumping on any bandwagons… you’ll all consider my new car useless as well…:wink:

edit: now i just have to talk one of my friends into driving to St. Louis with me…

:gives: build it then talk!!!

an old Civic 1500S… in running condition… it would be my second one… one of the most fun cars i’ve ever owned.

nice but not worth 4k to me. I’d rather get an e30 or 2002 Beemer. for that kind of cash.

I owned a 1981 civic 7 years ago. too many rust issues. picked it up for 250 sold it 20k miles later for 300

yeah… when they made the civics bigger and more “U.S. market pleasing”, they lost what made them fun… at least in my opinion.

same thing happened to the GTI, and the MINI

my GTI is a pig weighing in at 2899 lbs.

if i have a daily driver, i can afford having a car torn apart.

but honestly? i’ll probably do suspension, brakes, and an interior/exterior restoration… unless i can find a nice carbed ZC, performance mods will be limited to a Mikuni or Weber carb setup and an exhaust.
