I have one of these:
Mine still needs a bunch of repairs done to it though to get it to look that nice, including finding a matching wheel and a hub cap, since somebody decided to steal these items on different occasions.
Also my sister broke the bumper, there's rust in the usual spot near the gas cap, the fl quarter panel is *** up, and I need one hell of a pain job.
That's just the exterior stuff, the interior stuff is mostly: clean the SOB, fix power outlet, radio antenna (I know it's outside, and that I never use it, but not the point).
rear defrost and overall tinting needs fixed/redone
Need new door seals, and rear left window needs adjust (won't close the whole way) or motor/regulator replaced, front left window needs adjusted as it likes to knock itself off the track and get stuck when it's raining (probably also seal related).
Front rotors need replaced, and I have brake pads to put on. The rotors should be in by now, I need to call my sister to see if she picked them up.
I could put 3k into this thing, most would call me crazy but it'd be a damn nice ride when I'm done.
Better than paying 3k on another car+taxes etc and then having to get more work done on it.
oh, the body has over 300k miles on it, but the engine is under 150k. (old engine's head was warped, so took it out right at the 280k mark, as I had killed the starter by burning out the antifreeze to start it, that had mixed in due to the warp, from overheating too much and too many times due to my negligence).
No that pic isn't of my actual car, I need to find one though, I think I have one of when I fixed it in '07ish
I have a pic of my shitty civic somewhere, let me go find that.
edit:
this is what happened when a single screw/bolt came out and my axle decided to come off:
that was last March, I'm pretty sure that when the tire came off (due to my ignorance and a shitty shop's word/actions) I think it broke the bolt's nut or something, that wasn't supposed to back out).
