I can't sell a $250 car with ugly bumpers!

I am focusing on the 2002 Civic now, though......

These statements go hand in hand. You will never finish one of the cars if you keep getting distracted by new cars and projects. Get a car running - not perfect, running - then sell it. Repeat 4 times.

You are already missing the biggest boom in used car prices in your lifetime. New car inventories are increasing and wholesale used car prices are plummeting. (Down 15.6% YoY in December - the 6th month in a row they dropped) Before you know it your $500 cars will be $500 cars again instead of $3,000 - $4,000 cars.
