hello all. names johnny just picked up a 89 LXI four door 5 speed, previous owner smacked a deer with it, ive replaced most of the damaged parts including the passenger side view mirror and taillight. now all that's left is the windscreen and she will be back on the road :) also I popped the dents in the fender out as best I could. she has 230XXX on the od second tranny, cancer and faded, chipped paint like most 24 yr old cars that were raised in Montana burns oil but im working on that part as well. don't know what she will become now shes a point a to b car then after i get another toy maybe an auto X setup would be fun. white with burgundy interior. and to end it right with purchase :beer: and parts I've only spent junt under 400 dollars!

[knifemind]

Welcome. I'm in Libby. [But I don't have a 3gee anymore :( ...] Sounds like you got a good deal to me.

[bruce.j89]

There's a few hatches in Helena for sale if u want back in the game lol and I think so as Well after a few parts and pieces I'm only in the car just shy of a grand!!!

[knifemind]

Nah, maybe some day. I still drive my '85 prelude which takes up most my time & money, but the longer I don't have my 3gee, the more I miss it. Maybe someday... Been casually shopping for an LXi or a Prelude Si, but I'm not ready to commit quite yet. (unless the perfect car comes along.)

[bruce.j89]

Yeah I found this one and have always liked the look of them

[bruce.j89]
