"noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
i was looking in to getting a civic to play with and i found a 1990 civic hatch with a blown head gasketfor $500 with a 5 speed is it worth it?
howmuch will it cost for the new head gasket?
and is this a good foundation for a future turbo build?

Yea it's fine and a good deal if the body is in decent shape. Replace the headgasket with an MLS one from a Y8, they cost around $25-30. You'll also want to do a MPFI swap if it's a DPFI civic. Then slap a turbo on that bitch and have some fun.
