is my car worth doing engine swap?
i have a 94 civic lx sedan with 191k on it, im not sure if its worth it to build an engine and swap it in with that many miles on the chasis. the paint is kinda shitty in the front and its got some dents and shit, but the only rust is above the wheel-well under the gas tank, lemme know what ya people think

Go for it. My son bought son bought an eg with 168,000 and since then
has put in a built b16b as well as a complete GSR suspension setup. It
runs great and handles like a slot car. Have fun!
