Hey all, wanted to say hi from erie and pittsburgh pa

hey all,
i am currently rehabilitating a honda civic vx back to drivable condition.
I purchased it from one of my moms co-worker for 500 bucks.
so far here is what i have done and what needs to be done.
done so far/ bought so far:
new battery
new thermostat
new/ used fuel pump
new fuel filter underhood
new plugs
new plug wires
new cap and rotor
new 02 sensor
used steel hood-white
used passenger fender-white
used passenger headlight

needs to be done:
shim hood and new fender

the thing has 200000 miles and is a 93.
its a project and hopefully will be able to be driven shortly.

Wow! What a great car to bring back to life! When it was brand new you could expect upper 40's low 50's in fuel economy and even if you just get it back in running condition you should have a super practical and efficient little Civic. Probably the easiest modification would be to lower the ride height a bit and get some lightweight wheels and low rolling resistance tires, the rest of the car should already be very efficient.
