well with the holidays rolling around, my mom asked me what i might want, and i told her if anything it would be new rims or an engine rebuild kit.
my car is an 87 lxi
with 211k original miles on it.
here is a pic of my car:

I thought i had more pics on the ftp, ill try to get more on asap.
My first question is, has anyone here done a complete rebuild on a a20a1 engine? I have a machine shop down the street so thats no problem. I think they charge roughly 200 to bore everything. The rebuild kit i was lookin at can be found here: http://www.rpmmachine.com/enginerebuildkitshondatop.html
I also wanted to know what rims you thought would look best out of these 4.

this is 16" with 205/40/16
This fall i plan on doing some body work, gettin rid of that rust around the wheel wells, and removing the trim on the doors, and filling it in with sheet metal, i dont like that trim look. During this time im also gunna repaint it either jet black, or midnight blue with flake. So remember that when you pick which rims you like better. Any suggestions would be appreciated, cause im stuck, and dont know what i want.
