Default Old model restoration
Anyone into doing this, particularly with civics?

Or, if you'd like to do a restore, which model are you planning on doing?

I'm restoring my 1989 Civic Si. Fresh paint, new body panels...

Well, I know why you're restoring that particular vehicle. Are you using "new" stock body panels?

I've got a 1986 Civic DX Hatch with a valve problem waiting to be towed away if someone wants to restore THAT relic. Other than valves, seals, and a few other minor repairs it'll be a sound little car. Sorry, don't have engine code.

They're not so cute when the paint is oxidized, the weatherstripping is growing moss, and the interior smells like a dirty-ol' arse.

Still for sale!!!

Trying to. But finding any in good condition is getting annoying. I know my friend at Honda can get them for me, but like twice the orginal price.

Depending on what you paid I'd throw in a tow service to get it down there for you. I'm in southern Oregon, not too far from the Cali border.

Here's the link to the sale thread. I don't really expect anyone to buy... an '86 is more of a novelty than a project car.
