Welcome to the site. Sounds like you have it in working condition.

Step 1 get it together step 2 make it safe step 3 make it more efficient :)

Sounds like you have a fun project, take photos as you work on it it is fun to see how it progresses from start to finish.

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.
