Nooooooooo! Don't get rid of Bacon!!! JK, nice find. Got any specs for it? Looks like a good foundation for some mods.

I see a kammback written all over that. Attach it to the top and clip it to the spoiler. Paint it black to make it have that fastback look.

Take those mudflaps off!!!!!

I love old Civic coupes, one car I regret to never have owned.
