My wife wants the car out of the driveway. My son wants to K-swap it.

Body is solid. Engine and trans are original, AFAIK. OEM Enkies need a respray.

Needs an alternator/belts and new tires, at a minimum. If I list the car locally and/or on eBay I will swap out the alternator and make it look pretty before posting.
Where were you when I bought my Civic?! Lol.

I can’t swing the cash (got $13 in my account tonight), but I have seen it on YouTube and at Fuelly. I wouldn’t mind the provenance. I can’t blame you as the alternator is a royal pain to slide in and out (ask me how I know).

I’ve thought more than once that if anything happens to mine, I’d seek out an HX, since my commutes would work pretty darn well with lean burn.
