I literally went out and bought a beater car for college and plan on keeping the SS at home for summers.
Having a nice car in college is pretty much pointless.
A) You won't get have enough time/space to work on it and mess around with it
B) You'll need to spend money on other things like gas/beer/food etc.
C) Your priority shouldn't be cars. It should be grades and partying.

keep the integra if the paint is nice. take the money you didnt think you were going to spend and spend it on making the integra even better. never start with a project with a shitty car body. pay the money for the best body you can find. ps. where are you going to school?

Leave it be.

Trust me. I've done the 'build' thing and I regretted it.

College is something you need to focus on. Have a car that is 100% reliable and that you just gotta do maitence things to.

I have 3 cars right now. One is a stock 88 Civic Dx, in which it's my beater. My car that is 'nice' is my 00 Civic Si, it's not stock but the motor is a 'stock' Honda motor, it's just swapped. My shell is my crx and this winter, I'll just be collecting parts for it and I won't be doing anything to it. Summer time is when I do things to my car, because I focus on school during the fall and spring.

Focus on school and drive your car.

Last semester I had a turbo hatchback and another shell I was 'building'. I found time to work on both of them,(stupid turbo cars) but my grades did suffer and I regret doing that.
