All in all a good deal i think. I got the car off a guy on Honda-tech that bought it and didn't really know what he was doing. When i get the car it didn't turnover or run. I got it found out the the owner before the guy that i got it off of swapped the car from auto to manual and couldn't get it to turnover so he sold it. The guy that i got it from had it for a year and couldn't fix it. I worked on it for an hour and jumped the wires necessary for the manaul conversion and it turned over. Next it wouldn't run so i traced it down to the ground wire on the thermostat housing not being hooked up, i guess when they changed intake manifolds over they didn't hook it back up. I got it running. It has great compression. I got a new hood for $75 at the local yard, i need to get a new bumper cover as one of the owners drilled holes all over it. The guy that sold it to me thought that it has a bad transmission, i'm pretty sure that the clutch blew up and/or the springs came apart in the hub. I'm going to order a clutch and see. Hopefully i can sell the tranny and other parts to pay for the clutch. Throw a coat of paint on the old girl when i'm done with school in May and hopefully have a kit ready to go on by than.
