    Sort of new

    Used to be a semi-active member about ten years ago (had an 88 lx-i sedan and then an 89 lx-i coupe), but life kind of happened. Ended up selling the coupe and been through a few other Hondas

    Pre '00 Hondas are few around my area, and pre '91 are unheard of. I wasn't looking for a car, let alone a project; but on a local Facebook classified somebody posted 84 hatch for parts because it had transmission issues. I ended up trading about $200 worth of audio gear for it because they were ready to just sell it to the wreckers.

    I'll get a build thread started with more pictures and details

    FENDER MIRRORS? Awesome. Welcome! I have the same one in white without the sunroof and fender mirrors.

    Looks cool alone as it is. Cool sunroof and Japanese-market style fender mirrors. Great job saving it from the wreckers. Welcome 2.5geez!

    Thanks for the welcome!

    It's pretty clean/complete overall, the interior is a little rough, but not terrible.

    So far I'm just planning on cleaning up the body and painting it the same or similar color. I do need to remount the mirrors, I think they're just universal replacements, but they're gorilla glued on.

    Sounds like a good start! Yes painting it in the same/similar color is the best way to go with these cars.
