I
bought my civic about a month ago and it’s pretty A-ok, and almost rustfree, the engine is running with the original tires !!!
And also has a lot of good stuff too. The
only thing that bothers me is that the console is a little burnt by the Chilean
sun and actually you can see the inside sponge.
I
love this car because it’s handling is superb, very light, and fast for the
year too, my Civic has never been repainted so the paint is pretty bad, but
while the engine runs It’s ok. Right
now it’s at my friends garage, we are fixing some details on the engine
like the blown head gasket and the camshaft but no major problems. It’s
almost original except for the new cam that I am putting in and a ported and
polished head.
Well
I am 19 years old and this is my first car and I am going to have a lot
of fun repairing it. I am not in a rush to get the restoration finished.
When the restoration is done I will get the engine tuned up.
In
Chile these cars were very popular and now you can only find parts in the
junkyards with a little bit of searching. However we don’t have any of
the performance parts that exist in other countries, so if anyone wants to donate
or exchange parts for ours civics.
