Default 1984 Honda Civic Hatchback DX 1500 Opinion

Have this from parents, all original except a stereo and two highs. 3spd carb so slow

Got for 1000$ 3 years back with onli 48,000 original miles on it. should i fix it up[i.e lower it, tint windows, system, exhaust, engine swap] or leave it original and have it be one of the nicer classic hatches?

Now it has a little over 62000 original miles on it.

Im not going to ditch it for a clutch because im not going to be one of those punks who drive a 5speed honda, acura or even subaru and race them till they fuck up every friday night at the street races.

zc91crx - Sorry its not for sale.

I was wanting to get a newer Prelude and keep everything stock engine wise and have that a 5speed. If that was to come true all i would probably do to it is probably lower it and a nice pair of SMALL rims. But i need a job for all of that and my liscense. Im only 15 turning 16 in Septemeber and a junior at WFHS.

Still more opinions on OG or Fix'er Up?

loooool wut

but for serious. slam the civic and get some old school wheels. paint wouldnt hurt either. thats all it would need to be cool if you kept it clean and simple. ...and get different floormats.
